Yes, it is different, but it's not unusual to see differences like this.  :)

I remember some time ago someone posted a signature and I've been kicking myself that I didn't keep a copy of it. It was a long signature which included a number of instances of the same letters and none were formed in the same way. I'd love to have it to bring out in times like this. :)
