Hey, no problem. Haven't been up to povraying for a long time, and 
thought I should reignite my love for it.

Hm, being compared to Dante's Inferno... ;-)

The sizes, so far, are just because the signs are all the same size and 
words get scaled and positioned to fit on them, but I've been thinking 
about adding a variable to adjust for some scaling. Overall though, I 
think that every one of those things is placed at the top of priorities 
at one time or another (and even if its just for seconds). Though it's 
all random-based, I sometimes like how two more or less seperate things 
end up pointing in just about the same direction: some things lie so 
close to each other, its easy to make a wrong step and end up in the 
wrong place.

I hope to make vast improvements, based on my to-do-list and the 
suggestions, there's still room for them. ;-)

The thing is, you have broached a universal theme! And that is very 
interesting  :-)
