It has come to my attention that some people have fond memories of me
posting my 1000-line .signature over and over to make everyone happy that
Usenet's bandwidth was being utilized to its full potential.

Please forget everything you knew about my 1000-line .signature. I am
embarassed by its pathetic smallness.

In a few days, you will see the world's first one-megabyte .signature. No
two bytes alike! Not even the bits are alike! NOTHING IS ALIKE and NOTHING
WILL BE THE SAME once you SEE MY .SIG! This .signature is so beautiful it
will make you cry with joy so joyous it will be painful and the pain will
be so intense it will make you giggle until you choke with a choking so
intense it will make you faint into a coma so intense you will dance around
the room while CLINICALLY DEAD!!!

This .sig has not been tested on animals, because they all ran away. This
.sig has not been aired on television, because it contains colors that
cannot be transmited over television, like zurple, the ninth primary color
that dissolves photons on contact.

Anyway, please forget about my rinky-dink little Mickey Mouselet of a
microscopic 1000-line .sig. Creating a 1000-line .sig was a stupid thing to
do and a pathetic cry for attention, unlike my new super gigantic
expialidocious .sigaroonie. I deserve a DOZEN NOBEL PRIZES! Now!

               --K.
               P.S. You can see it in alt.religion.kibology
               in a few days, IF YOU'RE A REAL MAN.

This is excellent news.  I will now be able to finish my one-to-one scale
model of a Barsoomian patrol flier, using Kibo's .sig to fill the
flotation tanks.  Thanks again for providing such a vital service to
Burroughs fans everywhere.
