There is duplication between this file and the Dutch Dude's file; his just came in this morning and I didn't have time to sort them. Much of my collection came from a post VampLadee made. Sword collection: It is almost impossible to document swords because they are so often used as .sigs; therefore, there may be many slight permutations of the same basic sword. Often I write to people to ask them if they are the artist who drew their .sig; it is very rare that the answer is "yes" unless the person is a *known* ascii artist. Back in the days when knights were young, dragons were old, and I was first on the net, I was told that one MUST have a .sig that one had made oneself. For years I didn't have one because I have no talent when it comes to drawing. Finally I played with various ideas for several weeks. I still have a whole file of failed attempts to prove it. I am not thrilled with my present one--which is why you see it change all the time. [Also, I'm a 'jazz person'; I can't stand to keep doing anything the same way all the time.] How long did it take me? From the time I was first on the net until I developed the .sig was about 8 years. If you want to know if a particular sword "belongs" to the person who posted it, you will have to write to them yourself. I have included the names and comments of the collectors who were kind enough to post art they documented either by saying they were the artist or they weren't. Of course, some of swords were just pulled off someone's .sig--some didn't even come from ascii art postings.
