These are sigs from the SAAA 3.0 (Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 3.0). As someone once wrote: "Warning! PLEASE do not include ascii art in your signature files in Usenet newsgroups. What may be OK in private email, is in very poor taste and an abomination when you are asking thousands of systems to transmit it. It _WILL_ cause you to burn in hell! Trust us!" Guess I'd better buy some asbestos usderwear. Look out now! Course, if us sig ponters didn't post sigs, posted sig haters wouldn't have posted sigs to hate (and grab for their collections). :-} I've included 'From:' lines to tell who emailed or posted the piece(s). In many cases, the person who sends or posts the art is not the creator. Unfortunately that information is sometimes lost. The sender's comments are in quotes, mine are in brackets, and anything else came with the art. If you see any good sigs, send them to: boba@gagme.wwa.com Let the sigs begin. Enjoy!
