IDGI - I Dont Get It.
Again .. you give me a headache.

This just says Chris .. I don't even know what an ambigram is..
But ! .. ambi has to do with two and gram with signature (or weight .. but thats another
language)

A doublesignature ..
Now I have learned that ...

But it still just says Chris and the 'tine' in it can't be seen anywhere

Yes, people just call her 'Chris'. There is no 'tine' to be found. An 
ambigram (such as my sig) is such that it can be read in more than one way. 
In both my sig and the above ambigram, you read it the other way by looking 
at it upside down.

I SEE IT ! *joy joy joy! - Jumping up and down*
You are upside-down *g* (pun intended.. but i'm not sure in works in english)

It does spell David .. I like the henry acsii better though .. that's nearly perfect and
as perfect as it could be done using plain 7 bit ascii

Doesn't "Chris" confuse some people ?
I mean .. it's also a boy's name.

Thanks :)

Yes it is a gender neutral name. Doesn't seem to cause much trouble.

Just like I never went away.  So people are still using the mirror
writing after 2 years.

I remember when you were refining this sig Henry.  Didn't it used to be
in capitals?

Well I am anyway :)

Doubt it. Theres no nice way to get a 'y' out from a capital 'H'. 
Incidentally, I just altered it about a week ago, and made this 4 line 
version, just incase I ever end up somewhere that doesn't let me do the
7 line version:
