Whine some more, bucko. If you can do better, then do. Otherwise shut the
hell up.
: And your sig is way to fucking big!
: You can have all this in proper four lines, too:
And why would we want to? This is a ascii art newsgroup, if you don't
want to see large beautiful pieces or ascii art, go somewhere else.
: Now all you need is to get a "Live". ;-)
This from someone who complains about the lack of sig-dashes in a post.
Sheesh.
Greg,
Master of a beautifully large sig.
(Now show me how you could do better in 4 lines)

'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.

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...

Yes, sigdashes are required before a signature. Btw, you don't have any. Now, on the subject of 'doing better" - how do you define this? If you want the above book in a proper signature (four lines, remember?) then the information of your name, address, and quote needs to be in it. And possibly an ascii representation of a book that fits within four lines: > -- > |����|| Greg Webster Kic...@vcn.bc.ca > | ...|| "Wanderer" names me the World; widely have I wandered: > | .. || on the Earth's back I have travelled far. > |____|| "Okay, I've got the banana, ..." -- <4pb7il$qf...@milo.vcn.bc.ca> There - it has everything and a Greg quote on top of it!

Aaahh, but Sven, the length of an allowed signature is a function of the news reader/system/setup/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

Exactly, it's been in there for years. It's outdated. It had a purpose,
once, but now it's just another excuse to flame newbies. Not to mention
that your posting this anal-retentive crap to an ASCII art newsgroup. Why
don't you go organize your paper clip collection and leave us big-siggers
alone.

You're right, that's an accurate, complete signature - and it all fits in
4 lines! It's also incredibly boring. I'd rather see a big sig with some
originality then a 4-liner like yours, and I think a lot of people would
agree with me.

I have been watching this discussion long enough,and have decided to put in my own 3 cents(as compared to Sven's 1 cent). I really dont care how long someone's sig is,as long as it looks nice and isnt EXTREMELY LONG(like 20 lines).And, just for the benefit of those out there who think that sigs should have only 4 lines,I have made mine that long, since 4 lines will hold it,but dont be surprised if it turns to 5 or 6 in the future,it really doesnt matter. -- _ _ _ _ _ ____ ____ _ __ ____ ___ bil...@midwest.net | | | | |_| |_ _|__ | | V /|_ _| \ Of all the things I've | | | | ._. |_||_ ,^ / ==| < _||_| |) ) ever lost, I miss my \_,_/|_| |_|____|____| |_A_\|____|___/ mind the most.

: 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.

(Huge argument about whether .sigs should be more than 4 lines omitted) A couple of years ago this same discussion happened on this newsgroup. Your site sysadmin may have a policy of no .sigs over 4 lines, and several newsreaders (including 'nn' which I use) have this as a default limit, but (and that's what's so nice about the net) no-one forces you to do anything. But, as someone on this newsgroup eloquently put it, asking the alt.ascii-art newsgroup about the proper length of .signatures was like 'putting Orson Welles in charge of the Twinkies'. The sensible limit surely comes when your .sig approaches the length of your message. This limit can be stretched if your .signature is original, pretty, or changed often. Another thing to remember is that alt.ascii-art reshapes your head. People who are not ascii-artists may well see your .signature as a meaningless jumble of characters. Obfuscated 'C' programmers may try to compile it. After comments about my signature, I now only use it for this newsgroup. My advice is to think positively about this 4-line thing. Can you fit your .signature into 4 lines? Think of it as a challenge. Anyone can make honkin' great GIF-to-ASCII image, but it takes art to do it in four. ...and remember...

Well, if it just takes a few people who agree with you to convince you then a few lines more will probably convince you that I do have an incredibly great signature. Sig DSW!
