<DIV dir=ltr>I just use simple printouts and then use packing tape to give it a pseudo-laminated surface. It works well enough (I tend to find low-tech solutions are often more practical.)
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Signs are weak as enforcement mechanisms. I try to use them more for information. I've found the best practices are:</DIV>
<DIV>1) Put packing tape over them to make them a bit more durable.</DIV>
<DIV>2) Use a large Arial Black font to make them readable.</DIV>
<DIV>3) Use as few words as possible. No one wants to read a novel.</DIV>
<DIV>4) Link to the wiki for more details, including qr code. Use the <A href="http://nburl.net/">nburl.net</A> URL shortening site.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So your solution to signs being a weak mechanism is---- a better sign?</DIV>

<DIV>Al, i admire your youthful idealism. You seriously think somebody's going to see a sign that says "Clean up after yourself", and then they're going to go check the wiki for more information? </DIV>

<DIV>Dream on, my friend. </DIV></SPAN></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
