I didn't realize how much of a problem there has been on the newsgroup...
I'm still over 600 posts behind.. there has been a lot of arguing.

This is obvious consideration of others.  Although I must admit that
#3 could be reworded...

3) Feel free to repost unaccredited ASCII art with a proper original
signature.  (please be accurate)   The repost ought not to be taken
personally as we all know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the repost are not necessary.  You may opt to add the
proper signature to your personal files.  Of course, noone will check
up on you!

What'd'ya think?
