 I would like to dispel the common misconception that *all* warlordable
Australian signatures contain an ASCII map of Australia. The truth is
that, as a nation, we have numerous sig atrocity resources of which
the ASCII map is but one. 

Case in point:

 I hope this public information message serves to "set the record straight"
as it were, on the subject of Australian signatures. The misrepresentation
we Australian's have received at the hands of off-shore Warlord merchants
has been nothing short of criminal, and it is hoped that through messages
such as this one we may redress some of the damage done.

 Thank You.
