I also think that picture is brilliant and I have to confess that I have
used it many times in the past and changed the wording to suit the
occasion.

The latest Stein Wars have however made me realise one thing...diddling
other people's pictures in any way at all has the potential to provoke
flames.

I have always been an inveterate diddler of pictures, and, although
diddling has always been tolerated in Ascii Art, I've decided to try
my best to resist diddling although I may sometimes repost someone
else's picture in ts entirety but unchanged to make a particular point
effectively.

Haven't seen it yet...but hey...you haven't been in the newsgroup long
enough to be doing _Pictures_ have you?  Also I hope you have received
Mr. Casso-the-moderator's permission to post your own new picture and not
just reposts of his Steins?   *8-)

I'm pleased and relieved to see that Joris has not intimidated you
with his excellent reputation and status as a leading, talented
and much admired Ascii Artist.  :-)

Meanwhile, keep up the good anti-Casso work!

Cheers,
