Fair enough, but you did also remove the original initials in your
diddle which is more than "mentioned that" - at least when facing
a newbe.

I though so. My first reactions were "oh, what a nice fluffy greyscale"
when I saw the original and "gmrf, she stamped her line style over it
and it became boring" when I saw yours. Of course I might be the

colourful HTML thing, saying "why put initials on a lame b/w 
diddle" and posted it with my initials.
