Do I detect a note of sarcasm there?   I'll have you know that there
are those of us who would give our eye-teeth to be able to get
uk.rec.sheds on our servers!  You don't know how much it means to a
deprived would-be shedthreader like me to see your reposted shedpic. 
It's beautiful - actually it's a bit too beautiful for a uk.rec.sheds
specimen - should have holes in the roof and door hanging off.  But in
times of famine, any small crumbs of shed........

I am no ascii artist; I have been trying since 1989 to come up with an 
individualistic .sig.  I finally came up with one and some variations 
that I like.  This is public notice that this is my .sig and that I 
created it entirely by myself on May 28, 1996.  I include the sorts of 
variations that I intend to use.  It is not my intent to lay claim to the 
whole idea of using a female face instead of a male or an animal.

I'm afraid I sound bitchy and not exactly sharing in the "ascii art 
tradition".  I wish I didn't; I also wish I had an ascii idea that I was 
happy with more often than once in 7 years!

The unfortunate thing about what you are attempting to do is that it is a
day late and a dollar short.

However, ackording to the Berne convention, you do not need to put any
type of copyright notice in your original work to lay claim to it.
It is recommended that you do put a copyright notice on any original works
if you ever want to pursue any violations in a court of law, because those
that don't fail miserably at a high rate.

Anyone using your .sig could do so freely as long as they put a copyright
notice as a "derivative work" or make claim that it is such in some
fashion, still of course giving you credit in the original fashion.
I do agree that folks who put effort into creating any type of publicly
available work, program, code, or art should be givin credit by those
utilizing such for whatever reasons.
Be good,
-MM
