Cool looking, but hard to read. I wouldn't have known it was what it
was if your handle didn't appear in the sender list.

I've decided to play with this sig to see if I could address some of the comments made. Here's the original: ________________ | / /| | /| / / __ |\ | / / __ _ / /| | | \ | /| /| /| /| |\ /__ /| / | /| | | / / | | | \| / | / | / | /_ | \ / / | \_ | /_ |/ \____/__| | | /__| / |/ | \__ |_/ \____/__| \ | \__ | \ | / / ___________________________________________________________/ And here's a slightly modified version: | _______________ /| | /| / / _____ |\ | / / _____ _ / /| | | \ | /| /| /| /| |\ /__ /| / | /| | | / /_| | | \| /_| / | / | /_ | \ / /_| \_ | /_ |/ \____/ | | | / | / |/ | \__ |_/ \____/ | \ | \__ | \ | / _____________________________________________________________/ This makes the sig a little easier to read by changing the appearance of the letters 'A' and 'T' to make them a bit more legible, and puts more space between the words, again, for the sake of legibility. This version is also slightly smaller top to bottom (8 lines long as opposed to 10) and left to right (78 characters long vs. the original 79). Although the changes to the 'A' and the 'T' affect the general idea of continuity within the sig, they adhere to the concept of linearity fairly well. And I think the new 'A' matches the 'E' pretty nicely. :) Anyways, these are all just suggestions... take them as you wish. -Victor
