I used to have a few, and I thought that once art was posted, it was safe...
but I was wrong! I thought that I could always use dejanews to recover old
postings... now I find that their records do not go that far back!!! I
have lost ALL of my art from years ago, and all of my sigs... it happens...
but if anybody knows of any way to get hold of old postings, PLEASE let me
know.
Anyways, heres my new sig:
'--.__ _ .' ,===,'. " NOT AFTER LAST TIME! "
