: And some newsreaders/senders, such as PINE, can be configured by sysops
: such that .sigs *must* be four lines or less.
But...when you consider that people are spending hours (days!?)
downloading pure and utter crap from the internet as a hobby, the
miniscule amount of bandwidth "wasted" for an ascii art signature of more
than four lines isn't really a problem. My sig is 8, and it's staying
that way. It isn't offensive, it's well put together, and I think makes a
nice artistic statement about who I am.
Yours truly, the one and only Kickstart.
