You know, I'm wondering when I can reach this guy where.  Is he at home,

Where's the whitespace?  Is that really an e-mail address?

Five lines, 70-something columns, pretty standard. But how come the
BUAF Ns are smaller than the other two? In fact, the S looks pretty
cool (except that capital-L corner), but the others are so . . .
boring.

I think this should be used as the canonical BUAF & BUAB .sig.

It appears that John McVey from S.Australia (whereever that is) is very proud
of his age. And he should be - I would never had guessed that he has passed
16 with that signature. Perhaps when he gets older he can remove the tab,
reduce the whitespace, remove the qoutes, remove the disclaimer, get rid
of information also present in the header, figure out the nobody cares
about his social position and get down to the real signal of his signature:

That sentence seems to be of such a character that if I should come to be
reading it and trying to make some sort of intelligible sense out of it,
I would probably fail to be able to do so and immediately wonder what it
was that I was trying to say before I began to say that I was reading
about death and math and diving off of vans.

A A+ for the BUAF with block letters. Very readable compared to other BUAFs
Ive seen.

Plus the stupid generalized exhortation.

kool, only article 4 of the newly created alt.science.planetary, and
a warlordable sig arrives. but any froup filled with nerds discussing
Journal of Geophysical Research (the librarians nightmare--comes out
in 4pts every month, costs $$$$$$$$/year, etc....) is not my cup of

I like it.  Terje just forwards a request, .signature and all.  Kibo--
do you want to ask Terje to post an article for you?  (Since he did not
include his actual address, it's malmedal@dxcern.cern.ch.)

Not sure if this is in contravention of the Geneva Rules for Warlording,
but it was just too good to pass over.

alt.fan.warlord is the solution, you have the problem.

There seem to be several different type faces in there, including
Ascii Pop-Art 24pt, Amorphous Ascii 24pt, and Clipped Rally X Outline 72pt.

Most people stick to including one country in their sig,
but not Davide, oh no.  He can't make his mind up, and ends up including
six, though not one is complete, and is therefore useless as a contribution
to the a.f.w Ascii WorldMap.  Or perhaps he's one of those Northern Italian
snobs who's too embarrassed to even include Southern Italy in his sig.

Given the amount of trailing whitespace in there I'm sure the Southerners
are too upset ...
