18 That would mean that "Wolf Canis" is a bad boy and would have more
19 than one signature, one for normal use and one or more for evil use.
20 OK, if it's that what you mean, I understand it that way, then you
21 are right. But I'm pretty sure that, if "Wolf Canis" comes with
22 different signatures then it would be at least questionable and
23 would probably lead to a ban, I think.
