Hmm, good idea. Perhaps the iw variation could be a very old version that is not used anymore, which imparts a natrualness ;). Anyway I like it too.

It also looks rather nice when I write it out using my calligraphy pen. ________________________________________________ It's worth the risk of burning, to have a second chance...
