All these threads just remind me of Elvis, Big Foot, and Loch Ness
sightings. I am surprised everyone still even cares.All we need now is conspiracy theory.Vincent

"So...? You can still resize yours!
and Jake's fits into the size limits... 400x120 and 20kb, the limit is 450x120 and 25kb. Gee you're smart..... "Adam WHERE DO YOU SEE ME SAY THAT HIS SIGNATURE IS NOT WITHIN LIMITS???I said they are Big... NOT OUT OF LIMITS... SO.. GEE...YOU CAN READ.Personally... the signatures I listed were not to single anyone out, but to make a point on how a certain individual has singled me out ... and now he says he will tell them.... YEA.. I AM SURE.The point I was trying to make... IF YOU WERE SMART AND CAN UNDERSTAND IS:Why does he single me out???Notice the long train sig by NHTRAIN.... why did he not say anything to him as well, since his is in the same thread and ALSO does not live within limits.MAYBE.. if you were SMART... you would understand what i was getting at, but GEE... I GUESS NOT.And as far as I am concerned.... I dont think my 30 kilobyte stamp is killing the servers on the site... compared to some of the poster size screenshots some people post on this thing.As far as I am concerned... not any of those signatures I listed do any harm to this site. So what the big deal is... I don't know.But GEE.... I will be a good little user and set an example for all you kids and resize my sig by the end of the day.And GEE... maybe I will stop being singled out.I just love the expression "GEE....." Don't you....

RE: First Big Foot, Then Elvis.... Now MSTS 2

I didn't single you out. I was forced to post openly about it because you did not check the private memo. the problem not only is file size, it's resolution, the top of the page clearly states 450x120, yous currently stands at 450x201 I try to be fair to everyone. If people would notice the msg at the top, of every page, and then fabricate a sig to those specs, these kind of events could be avoided.But I appreciate the fact that you said you'd resize by days end. thanks you.Shawn Kenselaar, shawnssk@yahoo.com

Naw, Elvis is alive in Tucson!!! MSTS2 is not, but I did see a UP unit going through with Pay up or you-all will never see MSTS2 painted on the side. George
