Just wanted to mention what a nice sig you have! :) Actually, for those who
don't know it, I actually made the sig myself (see below).  I don't mean to be
rude, however it is usual courtesy in regards to ascii art to attribute the
sig one "borrows" from with the creator's name, and in addition to that, it's
usually frowned upon to take the exact same sig from another and replacing it
with one's own info without any other changes.

Especially in this newsgroup, since our sigs tend to be more elaborate than
those on other newsgroups, many of the artists would prefer that other people
not use their sigs without permission, and then with some changes.  This
rational stems from the belief that our "sigs" should be like our signatures
in real life - that there should be no two that are alike.

I now hereby give Jasmine (and Jasmine alone) permission to use this sig, as
long as a small [dcau] is included, and I extend apologies to her for using
her in this article in order to inform other readers of this newsgroup.
Imitation is a form of flattery (or so they say) and I'm am honored you liked
my sig enough to use it :)

If anyone else wants to see more of my sig collection, I invite you to come
see my web page listed below.

Take care everyone, and I'll try to see if I can post some more things after
my Med Board exams...
