   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.
