Ah yes.  I had forgotten that happens.  I would do something
about it but unfortunately I have no choice in the matter.  That
is something is automatically inserted by the system that my ISP
uses.  It happens with all the messages.

Tried that but it doesn't seem to work.  The spammers don't seem
to catch on unless I tell them right up front that it's AGAINST
THE LAW!

R(>Looks nice!

Thanks!  Gets the "whole fam damily" in the picture that way.  I
have to admit though that the picture of the ferret is one that
I found somewhere else.  I reworked it and turned it around to
face me as my two ferrets always seem to do.  I AM the "alpha
male" as far as they are concerned.  <chuckle>  Unfortunately
it's just to big to use on many of the nets that I access.  When
faced with size limitations I use a much smaller one though that
fits within the usual 4 line limits, like this:

I just found this out a couple of messages ago (I just got through
reading the "FAQ".  I just figured that these days MOST people on the
internet are using a browser or an access program of the same variety
that I usually do and that the "high ascii" would probably be seen
correctly.  Thanks for pointing that out though and setting
me straight.  I would use the original one that you came up with but
that one I consider to be yours and I don't really like to use
another's work.  I like your new one better even though it doesn't
fit within the original 4-line limit.  It looks better.  After
reading the FAQ and seeing that it's permissable here I'll switch
back to my usual one (seen below yours).

No prob just wanted your sig to be visable... <grin>  As for the
.faq I should read the copy I snagged yesterday and start posting
some art in this forum...  Could be very ammusing.

True... very true indeed.  Though if I recall the orignal one was
drawen up basicly as a refference for ideas regarding your own
Black Hat style sig.  But alas it all works out one way or another
in the end.

A>I like your new one better even though it doesn't fit within

Well I've never been one for following the rules...  Style over form.

And a quite groovy sig at that...

Hmmmm.... didn't think they cared. :)

Strange. It didn't seem to happen to the post I'm replying to... [shrug]

We've got three cats at our house, and about the only time they face us
is when they want to be petted or fed... <g>

Stretched cat on windowsill. Well, sorta. :)

Yeah, it is.  Or as close as the PowerAccess terminal program
will let me get anyway.
