You might try looking here:
http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/
There is no way to search for a specific size of picture, but you can use it to look at a
particular subject and see if a picture your size is available.

Well the GNU people say it is a GNU and RFC 1855 section 2.1 and its somewhere around point 25 if memory serves me correctly. In this group sig size as not been much of an issue because it is low trafic and not known for long posts. However your old signatures in the 20+ line style irritated me for some time but because of the natur of this group I never made a point of quoting RFC's to you.

The point you quoted is obviously outdated, from the RFC: "If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the minute, and the longer your message is, the more they pay." People pay by the minute? Maybe 11 years ago when this was written. Now days people pay by the gigabyte. Pictures as signatures are common on web based forums. No-one should care about usenet posts with a signature over 4 lines. Certainly most business emails use much longer signatures than that, and often the email is in HTML! Quote RFC's all you like but remember it stands for Request For Comments, and the comment it seems is no-one gives a rats arse. Following blindly without thinking is the antithesis of human progress.

Maybe 11 years ago when this was written. Now > days people pay by the gigabyte. Most people where you are from but the usenet is a global thing where there are people who still pay by the minute. The gigabyte thing isn't always true either since I know there are parts of AU that still cap bandwidth at 2 gig a month and charge overage for use beyond that. Some parts in America are, because of bad copper, still stuck on 33kbs and having one person post long signatuers post after post can really slow that down. I have been using cable speed lines for years now but I still find people all the time who are still on /slow/ dial up. > Pictures as signatures are common on web based forums.

Additionally, and off topic, most companies with email sigs more than 4 lines are normally laughed at by the people who read them. > Quote RFC's all you like but remember it stands for Request For > Comments, and the comment it seems is no-one gives a rats arse. Not in this group but I have seen plenty of cases in other groups where they care passionately about this. > Following blindly without thinking is the antithesis of human progress. Agreed. Counter-point: Leeding blindly without thinking has a habit of cleaning the gene pool. Not so much on usenet posts but breaching netiquet is never a good idea when it is replicated in every post someone makes. -- .-')) fauxascii.com ('-. | It's a damn poor mind that ' ..- .:" ) ( ":. -..

Thankfully I made the switch from Outlook Express to Thunderbird! I pity all the OE novices making their first usenet post. Interestingly this is probably the group i post in the most. Ross
