There is at least /pc/pd2/buf128.arc and there might be others at Simtel20. The file lists available at our site will give more information. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send prerecorded instructions on request (provided that your email address is reachable). >****************************************************************************** >* * * >* Shawn E.

A: Net etiquette and practice dictates about four lines at a maximum. The purpose of a signature can be considered two-fold. It gives your email address, and also acts as a visual identifier. Often the signatures include some kind of witticism or aphorism. Even if they are often amusing, and some very clever indeed, they may annoy some users. But obviously they are here to stay. If you simply cannot overcome the desire to include one, at least make it brief. The brief ones are usually the best anyway. By the way, I don't personally use one. If I wish to try a pun, or include a witticism, I try to do it in the body of my message. (Ok, here is one pun to boggle BBS lovers. Users writing in fowl language will be twittered. Figure this one out :-). At worst there are multiline signatures with elaborate ascii drawings. These are basically but bloated ego-trips, a waste of bandwidth, and severely frowned upon in the official UseNet net rules. ...................................................................
