I just noticed that _today_. Derleth’s sig has gotten so big it has to [stand outside in the cold and rain](http://odin.prohosting.com/derleth/index.html)!

When did this happen?

I’m just shaking my head at this.

I’m stupified!

I’m speechless!

There _has_ to be an award for this!

Oh hell that’s positively MINISCULE compared to some I’ve seen. For example, [here](http://www.rpgamer.com/board/cgi-bin/rpgmessage.cgi?other;3BEA2E1700000420)  
In case you’re confused, his post consists of the line "_:Stops laughing and goes to change his suikoesque password to an SO2ish one.:_ " the rest of that is his sig.

I’ve seen LOTS like this… here are some more:
