Line: Sigs from SAAA 3.0 (Part 1 - 17 K)
rec.arts.ascii
· 1 message · 16 Jun 1994
And now it's time to stop and view the sigs. These are sigs from the SAAA
3.0 (Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 3.0).
As someone once wrote:
"Warning! PLEASE do not include ascii art in your signature files in
Usenet newsgroups. What may be OK in private email, is in very poor
taste and an abomination when you are asking thousands of systems to
transmit it. It _WILL_ cause you to burn in hell! Trust us!"
Guess I'd better buy some asbestos usderwear. Look out now! Course, if
us sig ponters didn't post sigs, posted sig haters wouldn't have posted sigs
to hate (and grab for their collections). :-}
I've included 'From:' lines to tell who emailed or posted the piece(s).
In many cases, the person who sends or posts the art is not the creator.
Unfortunately that information is sometimes lost. The sender's comments are
in quotes, mine are in brackets, and anything else came with the art.
If you see any good sigs, send them to: bob...@gagme.wwa.com
Let the sigs begin.
Enjoy!

"...my sig...was donated to me (with different wording) by an outgoing student
here about three years ago.
The connection with the University is quite good since somewhere along the
line Essex Uni has acquired this Dragon conection even naming it's own (not
