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 looking for both small and large rainbows. Small ones for a
signature file and large ones just for fun!<:)

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. _______________________________________________________________________ ! ! !

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
