Easy, Joe...

I'm a roller-coaster nut stuck in cold-and-soggy Columbus, Ohio.  You can
see a lot of .sigs like mine...many, in fact, far more elaborate than
mine...over on rec.roller-coaster.  Columbus Freenet only supports one
.sig for all Usenet and email messages, and I am somewhat more active over
there than I am here...

A couple of years ago, the message (where it now says "New season begins
May 9" and where a week or so ago it said "Celebrating the International
Year of the Roller Coaster") was "Hard hat area - .sig under
construction".  And it was, complete with a little ASCIIcrane carrying in
the little ASCIIstructure for my little ASCIIcoaster.

I guess it isn't exactly obvious among the A][ crowd.  Of course, the spot
where I sign my name is outside the defined .sig space, so I vary that
slightly from group to group...most notably, on rec.roller-coaster I use 
--Dave Althoff, Jr.

while here I find it more appropriate to use...

]Dave Althoff, ][.

(for obvious reasons).  8-)
