   Here's a quick diddle.  Probably not any better.  But here goes:

   ////       ___ _             ////////////////////////////////////////////
  ////   __  / / (_) __ _      ////     j.e.storer@bradford .ac.uk     ////
 ////   ( (_/ / / / /  ' \    ////     This won't hurt, I promise!    ////
////    \____/ /_/ /_/_/_/   ////////////////////////////////////////////

   The idea was to continue the diagonal motion of the name.  Although 
the name looks more diagonal when everything else is vertical.

A great fan of many of Bob's Sigs, I didn't like this one... the -S- is
more like an inverted -Z- and althought the font is made of only slashes
and backslashes which make it look stiff anyway, the "S" needs to have
some "round angles".

I admit, the first -S- has no style...

    ///////    ///////
   ///        ///
  ///////     \\\\\ 
     ///        ///
///////    ///////

the second is better, but it's still too boring ti fitBob's Signature.
this -S- uses the same trick as the C that follows, there you go with a
soft S :-)

   I actually went through a number of versions while making that one, 
including one like the last one above.  But I thought I'd go for an 
angular look, and made the one with the backwards Z.
