As I said in the rules, I have kept info and stuff here:

The trolls made a beautiful effort which brought the group up to almost
it's normal "post count". Medical WereKochanski made a few very nice
tries and managed to successfully break almost all the rules. This
dedication deserves a reward. Here's a little something to put in your
sig MedCat:

                 _.-| |\ | / |_

In the Politically Correct class Nico Okha made a very brave attempt at
a three-liner. Unfortunately I can't see what it's supposed to be. The
other three are very even and it's hard to choose a winner, but after
thinking and looking and thinking and looking and thinking and looking
some more, I finally decided to give the first prize to Jens
Reissenweber's car sig:

I had no trouble picking the winner for the Acceptable if Good class.
They were all very nice but Niels Rasmus Hansen's little helicopter was
in a class clearly above the others:


              ___...---''
  ___...---'\'___
''       _.-''  _`'.______\\.
        /_.)  )..-  __..--'\\

        '-''\@                niels.pils(at)get2net.dk


The best Troll Sig!!1! was made by Vladimir Dmitrieva (sorry Joris, but
size does count for these, and yours just wasn't offensively big enough).
