'scuse me, my sigs go up to 8 lines, and I ain't reducing them for 
nobody. If you or anyone else gripes about it, I toss my 256-line ascii 
into my sigs. Don't get many complaints about the 8-liners after that. 
This 4-line limit is nothing but a load of crap that only anal-retentive 
idiots really care about. I rarely get any complaints about my sigs.

: There - it has everything and a Greg quote on top of it!  How's that?

Yeah, but loses 99% of the artistic expression. One of the things the 
'net is about is self-expression. If it takes more than 4 lines to do it, 
go right ahead. There's to much to me to fit in 4 lines or less. True, 
none of the ascii's I use are my own, but they still say a little about 
myself...
