Good point.  It just presents more challenge, right?

I'm starting to think I should create a script to randomly select one of my
(four, so far, counting this new one) signatures for each post.

Look, Ma, no commas, no #locals, and no #declares!

Still none of those things, and now with added highlights.

Smart!

I have the distinct feeling that I am lagging behind, somehow :(

I figured I'd post here rather than start another thread.  I had to try
making my own.  It's too long for a sig, but I was still pleased with the
result.

Whoops, line wraps messed the formatting up, and I made a type too...  Hopefully this
will be better

As far as I understand you are not suppose to have the actual characters 
appearing in the sig!
It IS very nice, though, your sig :))

So and I.

My current sig is fine but just for fun I realized next idea :-)
I must admit those all our sigs are very good lesson of povray and I think we
got small "testing compatibility for next versions" pack.

Here it is (don't worry I'm not the ghost):

#macro A(B,X)[1spherical color_map{[.5rgb 0][1rgb 19]}translate C*(X-B)+B+z*8]
#end light_source{0 1}plane{-z,-8pigment{average pigment_map{#local C=1;#while

-x)A(-x,x-y)A(x-y,-2*y-x)A(2*x+y,4*x-y)A(4*x+y,2*x-y)#local C=C-.04;#end}}}

#macro Sig(A,B,X)_(A,B)_(B,X)_(X,A)#end#macro _(A,B)cylinder{<A.x,A.y,3>,<B.u,
B.v,3>.1,9}#end global_settings{max_trace_level 9}light_source{0 1}camera{up y

  I think most newsreader have this kind of functionality already.
  At least in tin, if you configure the signature path to point to a
directory (instead to a file), it will select a random file from that
directory.

I know, resurrecting an old thread...  I just wanted to debut my new .sig,
because I think it's kinda cool.  And it still has no #locals and no
#declares, though the commas proved intractable.  To compensate, though,
this one has a loop with no #while.  I'd love to see suggestions on how to
make this one shorter, even though I don't need them at this point.

So of course I found some of my own...
