Another thing you could do to cut the amount of characters used is to do it like this: . , john_vander_zwaag . ,`o--Y ____.....------.' .,' ,,~'' `,------.....____ ''''` `---.:: ,': ; ,' ;`. ;;.---' '```` jrv1@ra.msstate.edu ` `:__`-._ `.`., _,-'__;' ' vanderz@erc.msstate.edu` `---`---'`'`---'---' ' http://www2.msstate.edu/~jrv1 \`--'/`,, ``` ''' By doing it this way, the number of characters drops from 475 to 419 (or thereabouts).
