   I am happy with my sig, which all you blindingly brilliant artistes
came up with.  Would y'all now have a go at refining it?  Like, do it in
block letters, or drop shadow, or whatever strikes your fancy.  Email is
welcome.

That is a pretty large sig; maybe not in this group, but in other places it
would be better to have a few less lines. Like this:

1 The Sign at the End of the Universe:
2  __________________________________________
3 |   o      __     _      __    __          |
4 |   |   _||  |   |_||\ | __)  (_ ||_| |    |
5 |   |  |_||  |   |  | \| __)  __)|| |_|_   |
6 |__________________________________________|

That's 6 lines; still considered too big by some, but a lot better than the
original 13.
