Massive quotes

Will whoever is sending out these massive quotes with no message please
stop. I'm new on the Net, so maybe I'm missing the point, but it's
really so tiresome and pointless.

Hello world!
I'd like some help with designing a banner that will be sent to persons calling
me with a modem.
I'm not good at this and I know that there are lots of Leonardos out there, so
please take some minutes and help me redesign my "Lars Holmgren" banner.
The text should be "Lars Holmgren".
You may use caps only, small caps or mixed case.
I'd like both words to be on the same line, but if you like you may put "Lars"
above "Holmgren".
The size of it should not be wider that 80 characters and about 7-15 lines.
It should be readable (unlike some BBS-logos), but use your imagination.
It should only consist of ASCII 32-127, but if you like to use the LATIN-1
(ISO 8859-1) charset or maybe the 'IBM' one go ahead.

I'm not satisfied with the 'L', 'a', 'o', 'g' and 'e' in my design and I
hesitate on 'H'.
It's a clean look but a bit boaring.
What do you think?
Would you like to help me?
You may post your articles to the newsgroups, but PLEASE send your suggestions
to me by email also, so I won't miss it!
Thanks!
