I have had an inital crack at creating my "Dragon with a Samurai Sword"
sig below by combining various other peoples' ascii-art (all credited).
It's still a little big, though, so I'd appreciate any comments
(good/bad/indifferent - I'm not proud :-) or a better piccie than this
all together. Thanks for humouring me!

Here is the result. [SNIP stuff that I have copied to my PC - 'twas much appreciated!] Thanks very much for the time you put in on those - I especially liked the last one. In the interim I had been 'advised' by other regulars on the newsgroup this was intended for that a shorter sig than the original would be better. Since I already guessed this might be the case, I had already come up with a contingency .sig - since one of the other regulars already has a sword in his .sig, I have gone simply for a dragon motif (again adaptd from another picture). It's seven lines long rather than four, but it's still much shorter than the original. Now that I have a selection, I may well mix and match with the ones you created. More tinkering awaits! /\ \^\^// \\ ,^ ( ..) @----------oOOo--| \ \--oOOo------------@ | ```` \ `^--^ '''' | | Paul Gilham \ \ \ Samurai Dragon | (Artwork by Klaus | pg2...@cam.ac.uk ^--^ -==UDIC==- | Steding-Jessen) @-----------------------------------------@
