Greetings.
I've come up with a tiny dragon that fits well into a sig. If you'd like
to use it feel free. If it does make it's way into some sort of ascii art
archive, please credit DeBray Bailey < me ;) >.

Sven, excuse me if I'm being a bit too crude here, but GET A FUCKING LIFE
and stay out of other people's! Let them do what they want to do with
their sigs, and if you don't think it's proper, bite me! Geez, Mr.
Manners of the internet here... This ain't a reform school or anything.
'Proper' my ass. I've never changed anything I do because the tight-asses
like yourself think it ain't 'proper', and I'm not about to.
Pardon my French and apologies to anyone I offended... I'm kinda steamed
over guys like this trying to tell us how we should express ourselves.

What did he write that sounded like "Sven, please critique my sig on the
basis of your warped fixation on syntax and conformity." A sig is not
complete if the name or address is missing? Who says? I notice there's no
address in your sig, so WTF are you talking about?

Your name at the bottom of a post qualifies as a sig, dashes or no.

This just erased all my doubts about how anal this guy is. His regular
sig includes a LINE COUNT...
Most people appreciate creativity in sigs, even if it does take it over 4
lines. I've gotten more compliments than complaints about mine.

>Sven <----What the fuck is that if it's not a signature?
By definition, this isn't a .sig. A .sig is a file that you append to the
end of a post or a letter. If I just sign like this:
DLW
which I sometimes do, that's not a .sig.
If I put my .sig file like this: (requires appending a file-not just typing)
-- __ '--'
' |__) (__| |"' |"' |_/ | /| | /| iampara
' ' ' ' | .__| |__ |__ | | |/ | |/ | graph <DARWIN><
' ' -Donnie Lee Waters UofL 175 ^ ^
' ' -dlw...@homer.louisville.edu !
then that's a .sig
I'm not defending his anality (is that a word?). I'm just saying that in my
opinion he's technically correct.
I'm also under the impression that this whole disagreement is over not what
you think it is. ;)
For instance, in the "four line and sigdashes" thread, Sven isn't saying
"Never have more than four lines." He's saying "If you have more than four
lines, it's not a .sig--it's an appendix." Which, I think, is true by
the definition of .sig.
-- __ '--'
' |__) (__| |"' |"' |_/ | /| | /| iampara
' ' ' ' | .__| |__ |__ | | |/ | |/ | graph <DARWIN><
' ' -Donnie Lee Waters UofL 175 ^ ^
' ' -dlw...@homer.louisville.edu !
PS--I personally don't need more than four lines, so I guess I'm biased!
I don't mind long a long appendix at the end of a post, though, either. :)

Nope, it's not my regular sig - it's an educative sig that I only use for people who I don't expect to be able to count.
