Colin, don't you mean that this one is in the infamous Arial font that
is the bane of AOLer's existences?



                   |\_/|      
        _____ / - - \
     /~____  \ ="= /   -cfbd-
    (______)___w)w)
       
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii



And that this one is the "times new Roman" font?

                         |\_/|      
        ______ /  - -  \
     /~____    \  ="= /   -cfbd-
    (______)___w)w)
       
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
