   Most ASCII artists don't mind if you use their pics, especially if you
ask first, and credit them.  But sigs are another story.  Would you mind
if I used your name for a while?  Signatures are rather personal, hence
the name "signature".  I've had my sigs ripped off more times than I care to
recall.

   But not too rarely to preclude you from stealing sigs?

   Why don't you steal the boss' sig?  BTW, here's a sig for you to
steal.  Although if your nickname isn't 'Scarecrow', the pointed hat
might take on another connotation.
