>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.
-- __ '--'

' ' -Donnie Lee Waters UofL 175 ^ ^

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. :)
