Hey, anyone on any of the crossposted NGs wanna join >the "longest thread ever?" Ok, I'm using Free Agent again, and since it's been such a long time, I completely forgot what was in my sig. So I'll just have to check to see if I can use it here. <takes a look at his old sig, and takes out a fewof the out-dated parts> Ok, the sig is ready to be used. Now, I have to add another group don't I? Let's see here...<looks at the list fo groups on his server> How about alt.ascii-art? My server says it has 50 messages on it, which probably means it has close to 5,000. Damn this is a crappy server. k -- If you want to see my great and wonderfull sig (which Manlove <rin...@earthlink.net> thinks sucks) go to http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/home_cool/sig.htm. Go there! Now! Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into yours and join the fun! The opinions expressed in this message do, in fact, represent the opinions of the IAGNB If you ever get a any spam that starts off by telling you how he made $50,000 with just a $5 investment, forward it to net...@nocs.insp.irs.gov You probably noticed how it ends in irs.gov.
