Re: req: good ascii, not crap ASCII

Dear friend,
	I appreciate your concern for the quality of ASCII art these 
days, and your worry that too much of the ASCII art being posted is 
actually done by the writers of the posts. With all due respect, I 
believe that the problem is exactly the opposite: Many people simply post 
something from their collection, that's gone around the ASCII  world 
thirty times already. I also believe that the author of the art in 
relation to the poster has nothing to do with the quality. In conclusion, 
may you blow out your brains with a semiautomatic shotgun. I'd offer you 
a more powerful weapon, but I'm afraid I have not studied guns!

Ember.

P.S. For those of you wondering, this is a sarcastic attempt at a 
respectful letter. I know I sound like an 8-year-old.
