I got to the end of your article, and I was assaulted by the above HUGE and precipitous GRAPHIC SIGNATURE! I started hyperventilating, pitched off my chair, and hit my head on the wall. Now I'm on an indefinite leave of absence from work, with a poor prognosis for recovering the full use of my left pinky and left-hand bottom part of my tongue. We MUST educate the USENET community at large about the ever-growing dangers of character graphics. Boy, some people...
