This is a subject I have to deal with all the time. I think ascii art
is way cool. And I really dig those sigs. But I think the answer is to
have sigs of different sizes. And by sizes, I would imagine that it's the
character count that matters, not necessarily the number of lines. So
let's wacth those wasted spaces at the ends of lines.
