How about something like this? :- 1 __ 2 (oo) 3 )/ 4 ' or: - 1 ('') 2 )/ 3 / 4 ' Yeah, they need work, I'm not very good at this. Feel free to diddle away.

Marion's original was just that. I make your version 9 lines and far too big! Greg

Actually this is one of the few groups where a large sig don't matter much ,as long as it has ascii-art , because the sig then becomes a part of the content and not just noise. But really .. most other groups I read and write in prefer small sigs - 4 lines being the nicest "standard" .. 6 lines goes too many places. .. But you can shrink Steve's sig and make it smaller with the same content : -- __ _ __ o|\('')/|o |_)|_ _ __ _|_ _ __ _ _|_ _ _ o|\('')/|o \_ _/ | | |(_|| | |_(_)|||_> |_(/_\_/(/_ \_ _/ /___/ \___\ [kOs] "I am a rock, I am an island; and a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries" (Simon and Garfunkel) 6 lines :) or this smaller 5 line version : -- "I am a rock, I am an island; and a rock feels no pain, __ and an_island never cries" (Simon & Garfunkel) __ o|\('')/|o |_)|_ _ __ _|_ _ __ _ _|_ _ _ o|\('')/|o \_ _/ | | |(_|| | |_(_)|||_> |_(/_\_/(/_ \_ _/ /___/ \___\ [kOs]
