She keeps popping up >everywhere (which is why I set my chat posting limits after her). Thank you for providing that info. It appears that Mike did issue a copyright notice on the original, which indicates she is now 17 years old... :-P http://artscene.textfiles.com/asciiart/meriday "Meriday in the Morning" Copyright 1992 by Mike Jittlov (& Meriday too!) Perhaps Eli the Bearded <*@eli.users.panix.com> could pass that along to <web...@polaris.net> and suggest that he apply the authors name and copyright notice to the headers. I can understand anyone claiming fair use to the image, but should someone attempt to use it commercially (or for-profit), they would be in violation of copyright laws.
