Does the characters in my sig line?  When I view the ascii art from the ng,
there is one or two lines that are a space off.

It is because you are posting with Outlook Express.

It will remove any SINGLE space before a character at the start of a line.
To fix it, simply start your sig with two or more spaces on each line :

Above is a fixed copy of your sig, safe to post using Outlook Express.

'----------------------

They line up for me... Outlook Express has this little 'feature' where it
takes away any single space it finds at the start of a line... that is, one
space followed by another character...

see?

How to fix it? You can't--- get a proper newsreader, not one bolted on to
your email program. I recommend Free Agent (www.forteinc.com) but there are
others who think it's name is mud --- it's up to you to choose!
