Re: The earliest ascci-art......

Thanks for linking me to things of beauty, Donovanstein!

Here is a diddle that I came up with, based on my past experiences in
aaa  :-))

     atis               Stre
    m    m             r    n
   g      oWeJustNeedOu      g

    r    a             o    h
     P aa               Show

A good and recent example is providing the disincentives against html
flames. Colinstein, and earlier, Veronicastein, ran out of issue related
arguments.

Generally speaking, we should make the flaming experience as distasteful
as possible for the perpetrators. (Of course, some may be so limited
that they do not perceive the disincentives  ;-))

Unfortunately, the pragmatism on aaa also dictates that you have to take
initiatives, at least occasionally. I am quite obviously not the only
one doing that, but I am the only one stating this that openly.

I realize too, that I am addressing just one aspect of Donovanstein's
article  ;-))  but I think I need to be steadfast in this regard.
