|Sounds good to me -- I thought Krogg's levels were quite clever, and I'd
|already archived his post for use when revising the FAQ later. One point
|though Martin, and that is that your revision should be version
|2.0.2.m1, not 2.0m, because the current version of the FAQ
|(http://cantua.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpt26/art/ascii/faq/faq.txt) is 2.0.2.
'----------------------------------

Oh, Hello Matthew :o)

The version of the FAQ i've been posting was 2.0, so that was what I
revised. If you could email me (addy in sig) the latest version, that would
be good, since I don't very often have time to use the web (I usually just
check me email and grab all of the new newsgroup messages for offline
reading). I could then post that, possibly as 2.0.1.m1 or without the levels
thing if you prefer.

.----------------------------------
|I'm (mainly) in lurk mode at the moment, 'coz I'm actually trying to get
|some good marks at university this year (!), so I don't have much time
|for character-twiddling. :-(
'----------------------------------
Hehehe... I've been doing the same thing with my school work... which is why
my pics have been a bit thin on the ground lately.

.----------------------------------
|But hopefully some time in the next few weeks I'll get around to
|producing version 3.0 of the FAQ -- making it a lot shorter and more
|readable, removing the broken links, and putting it under the Open
|Content License (http://www.opencontent.org/opl.shtml). That all sound
|ok by everybody?
'----------------------------------

I'll try to take a peek at that when I'm next online... but if it is as the
name suggests then that seems OK to me.

.----------------------------------
|Thanks Martin for taking up where our dear departed Colin left off,
|regularly posting the FAQ and assorted other documents -- as I have
|mentioned before, it's something I would do except that I am often away
|from the Net for extended periods of time.
'----------------------------------

Well, they needed posting -- since I was already posting quite a few other
documents a few more couldn't hurt.
The ones that Colin used to post I have now ceased to post weekly, since it
was getting a bit excessive. I will try to post them monthly but my
automation script that automatically feeds the FAQs into Free Agent can't do
that automatically. (yet!)

.----------------------------------
|Oh, and one last thing. I can't *believe* that a.a-a is actually holding
|a vote on what the correct verb is for creating ASCII art ... as long as
|it's understandable, why not let anyone use any word they damn well like???
'----------------------------------

As far as I was concerned, it was just for fun --- I hope noone is taking
the vote too seriously?
