i don't like to be a whiner, but can we do something with the over-width sig pics? scrolling left-right through an entire thread because of one person's sig kinda sucks.

Is it really that much hard work to move your mouse a fraction of an inch to the right ? Umm...

it's not about the energy involved. it's a two fold thing.

1) for those of us who get annoyed because we have to read someone's otherwise coherant post by scrolling left right it is a P.I.T.A.

2) for those few people who have the oversize sig pics, it is inconsiderate of the entire group of users here, whether others are bothered by it or not.
whether or not it bothers someone, it is still being forced upon them without any consideration for their wants, and on a more basic level is a known violation of rules agreed to upon joining the forum in the first place. it takes alot less effort to re-size a pic once, than it does for
several other people to scroll back and forth every time they read a post.

How's mine then?

Do keep in mind Gentlemen that the bigger the Ego, the bigger the signature... that is the criterion, isn't it?

So since I have the biggest Ego, I deserve the biggest signature.

Thank you Bow Down

Well, it depends on how big your monitor is. If you have a big monitor, you don't have to scroll, if you have a small monitor, you have to scroll. After all, signatures arent ment to be big, this is not a screenshot forum Wink

when i think of my first marriage, i don't like the term "divorce".
i prefer to use the word "escape.

when it comes to smoking, i learned a trick many years ago, that allowed me to start and stop any time i wished for indefinite periods without stress.

you only have to make the first 3 weeks cold turkey. after that it gets easy. once you have quit for a couple of years, you should be able to start and stop at will. i quit the day before my wedding, the last time, and it never bothered me. before that, even though i smoked, when the (then) fiance' came to visit, or i would go to see her, i would stop for a week or two because whe doesn't smoke. i had no problem doing it.
when i did smoke i was doing a pack and a half of winston lights per day. before i learned the trick i smoked for almost 25 years
