80 coloumns and 26 lines of .sig + part of header(!) after 6 lines
of text...how's that for a S/N ratio?
That BUAF must surely be one of THE ugliest ever presented here, or what?

Stanley has included almost everything readers of a.f.w seem to enjoy
(or hate, depending on how you look at it):
- 79 cols, 13 lines
- Horrible border that gives me the creeps
- Barphics (What are their purpose? Warn us about radioactive fallout?)
- Snail-mail address, telephone number, fax number
- "INTERNET:"-tagged email address
- Lots of whitespace
