To me, a tagline is more of an aside to the message.              Taglines have always been an option, not a requirement. I like taglines but I       know many that do not.              -- Sean              --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/101 424 426 452 550 700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 282/1038 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
