Jeff the majority of people on the interenet use a non-proportional reader, font, whatever, so it will look really screwed up to them. But as someone once told me when I posted a pic here a long time ago and didn't know the difference, who the hell cares if it doesn't look good to =everybody=.

Read the message again and over it right-click your mouse.. select "fixed pitch font" and you'll see why any one else can look at your ascii name. Felipe Hoffa
