Blue dies?

Ok, I'll back down from avatar size, but I'm still going to have my say about signatures.
For one, both of those images were sized down using photoshop 8, I guess I could have sized them down more but was too lazy to.
For another thing, image size != number of characters in sig, and neither does number of images. I could have a huge sig that fills up half my post with only 50 characters. In my (old) sig, the html link takes up most of the space. "John Kerry is a douche bag but I'll vote for him anyway" is probably around 100 characters there.
I don't want longer sigs for lots of large images but for one or two small ones and more "text".
