   Nothing wrong with corralling your waddle family into a square, yes.. perhaps   
   it does resemble a QR code.  So for your original 12 a 4x3 could fit better   
   for many re-quotes.   
      
   Eg:   
      
    -o    o-  -o   -o   
     (\  /)    (\   (\   
     ^^  ^^    ^^   ^^   
    -o    o-  -o   -o   
     (\  /)    (\   (\   
     ^^  ^^    ^^   ^^   
    -o    o-   o-  -o   
     (\  /)   /)    (\   
     ^^  ^^   ^^    ^^   
      
   I remember a time when multi-line "signatures" like that were fround upon in   
   FTN.
