I am saying this first because while a LTO of people mailed me askin for sigs 2 people actually mailed me my ENTIRE post to me.. now 1) I KNOW what I posted so why would I want to look at it again and 2) that is MUCH SPAM and runs up my disk quota if i save the message because I am TRYING to be nice and get back to you... so please DON'T DO it anymore.. If your mailer/news reader asks to include the post say NO!!! or if you DO say yes DELETE all the crap I posted *I* don't want to see it again.. The two people that did this I have pruned their message AND kept it and will get back to them but any furthor spammins wiehter out of ignorance or intentional, WILL BE IGNORED, they WILL be deleted IMEDIATELY. So if you want my help BE SMART. Now since most of you asked one of 2 questions I will answer them both here: 1. The way I made the signatures was with a program called 'figlet' orginally a Unix based program I believe. A. No I don't know where to get it, I got mine so long ago I forget the ftp site, but I'm sure the faq to this newsgroup has it. B. No I will not send anyone the fonts I use.. there are all public domain fonts and are located at the same ftp sites as 'figlet' most of the time Any fonts that are self made will be posted there. 2. I am not going to make signatures for everyone one who writes me for three main reasons. A. If I agreed to make a signature for ONE person I would have to make one for EVERYONE who mailed me so I would never get to do anything else. B. I am too busy to to make sigs for everyone , but when you find out where to obtain 'figlet' you can make them for yourselfs. C. I'm not that nice sorry I can't please everyone all the time so I don't try to. The only person I have to please is me. P.S. I'm not TOTALLY cruel I will make SOME sigs for people on 2 conditions: 1. I'm not making one for everyone I will pick and choose so maybe I WILL make one for you and maybe I won't 2. PLEASE do NOT mail them to me POST them that way if *I* don't make it for you maybe some OTHER kind soul will okay? Thats all for now... Oh also like I said I WILL make the sigs for some people that mailed me but it will be in like a week or two because I am moving my computer to the summer dorms so not only will i have a diffferent address but I won't have it plugged in for about a week and a half. -- _/ _/ _/ _/ Prices subject to change _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/ will. _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ + + + + _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ The ONE item you want _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ is never on sale.
