Great suggestion Sigh Annotypers all!
BUT what Dick is really talking about here of is course Sign-o-types.

Oh I know, I'm being picky (- as Lilly Tomlin said once - not to me of course -
but to a customer of Ernestine and the Bell Telephone Company). But this is
clearly a critical moment for all cyanicists.

Sign-o-typy (oops, nearly wrote sin-o-typy!). The great secret brush stroke
sign! Yes! Authentic, real, Sigh Anotypes!

(I couldn't help this, tuly. I've been thinking about Dick's great word all day
and this snuk up on me.)

Regards to all
