Howdy all --

I was recently given much greif over the rather large size of my .sig
and the apparently phallic-like feel to it.  Ugly accusations of
consorting with freuds and various expressions of .sig envy have been
making the rounds in these parts.

If some kind soul has a few moments, could you please devise a large fig
leaf (or any leaf, for that matter) to cover the offending appendage
from impressionable eyes ..?  Size does not matter ... in fact it might
well enhance the effect if the .sig were to sweelllll to 12/14 lines or
so; this will be a special use anyway.

I can re-edit any info into it that I need, but my talents are lacking
to perform an artistic cover-up on such short notice.  The follow-up in
the header should automagically EMail to me, but I will also check in
through the week for any kindness anyone may attempt.

(it's a _lighthouse_  ... really !!  ;)  :) :)

Thanks !!

It's not a fig leaf (although it almost looks like one) but a maple
leaf. That should barely cover the offending "lighthouse".


NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Weelll ...  like I'd said, there was _some_ discussion about .sig envy
bumping around these parts.

lemme play w/ it some and see what I k'n do.

BTW -- apprec very much the response.  For informational purposes,
setting the 'follow-ups to:' line to my EMail address did not function
properly.

Probably a Good Thing.

Thanks !  Anyone got any others ..?  Plz share ..

Is Eve trying to decide if the leaf is large enough for Adam, or for
herself ?
