You don't think so? Well take a look at this list and see.
At the moment I'm doing a re-vamp on the signs, and categorising them. If one of your signs vanishes it simply means that it was a 'repeat' and someone else got in with the sign before you. Please don't send me any more signs right now because I won't be able to put them up. (Sorry for the inconvenience) In the meanwhile, have a look at what other people have written.
