   AS>> Is there a way to ask an autograph over FidoNet?   
   AS>> Should be an auto-ASCII-graph, probably.   
      
   AK> Do you need a separate signature? For forging documents?

   Well, `need' is the wrong word here.  Does one forge   
   documents with an autograph?   
      
   AK> An autograph is usually written on something, a photo   
   AK> for instance. You can attach a photo to a message, the   
   AK> recipient puts his signature on it, using Photoshop, and   
   AK> sends it back to you.

     Autograph 0tographe, fr. Gr. ?   
        autographic; ? self + ? to write.]   
        That which is written with one's own hand; an original   
        manuscript; a person's own signature or handwriting.   
        [1913 Webster]   
      
   Observe that I craved the honor of receiving an auto-ASCII-   
   graph, which is more compatible with the text nature of   
   FidoNet.  Do you still meet with binary "attachments" to   
   FidoNet messages?
