Reg: a spam signature

Hello everyone,

I have been coming to your newsgroup for awhile now and find these
creations pretty cool. But I have been having a problem with newsgroups
postings that I post. Whenever I post to any newsgroup I always seem to
start getting spam e-mail to my e-mail address. Well what I am looking
to do is get an ascii picture signature that would look really cool. I
haven't got any ideas or I would have worked on something myself. Any
ideas or attempts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Easy solution is to add a bit in your preferences file to your email
address. eg change it to you...@whereever.com to
you...@wherever.com-nospam

This prevents machines from picking up on your email address.  If anyone
wants to email you it is pretty obvious that you need to remove the
-nospam bit from your address.  This has worked for me.

              o(|\o             (delete nospam- to send a message)

You're in the right place... what kind of ASCII picture are you looking for?
We need to have something to start with.
