	I created my sig using AOL.  It looks fine when I see it, even
when
I  read my posts to groups.  I was wondering how everybody else sees 
it who's not using AOL?  Does it get distorted because I didn't originally
create 
it in my text reader, Windows Notepad?
make a butthead of myself?  =)
	Thanks for any feedback.

On my screen it does look slightly distorted, but only in the spacing. 
What you need to do is to use a mono-spaced font, like Courier. Does AOL 
let you select which font to view Usenet in?

(modified version of .sig)

        ////\       /\\\\
      /////  \     /  \\\\\
    /////     \   /     \\\\\
   /////    /\)))))/\    \\\\\

        \\\\\ /  \ /////
         \\\\/    \////

Now this is a bit more symmetric. Is this what you you trying to get 
originally?

	Hmm, that's really strange, my org post got really 
mangled.  Anyway, I now understand about proportional 
spacing between Notepad and AOL, that doesn't use it.  
	So I created a new sig.  Please any comments?
Any details that might be added would be helpful.  Thanks.
It's simple, but cute.
