Those comments were not aimed specially at you they were aimed at the ongoing 
negativity we have seen here for almost the whole of this year.

Even you would have to admit that criticism is far easier that postitve
input and you have been around alt.ascii-art and rec.arts.ascii off and on 
since their was creation so you are no way a clueless newbie with no knowledge
of the history of the Ascii Art groups or how and why the FAQs 
and WARNING notices have been written and modified over time.

I originally wrote this WARNING notice due to daily screams here of "TURN OFF
THE COLOUR!"  TURN OFF THE COLOUR! - IT'S CRASHING MY SYSTEM!"

Nobody at that time did anything else but SCREAM!!! loudly!!!...
So I wrote the WARNING Notice...it was not perfect...it has never been perfect...
and with the clueless newcomers who come to this newsgroup...it never will
be perfect.

If you believe that you personally can write a perfect version of the WARNING
Notice...then GO TO IT!  I'll be more than happy...I'll be delighted for you
to take the task over 'cos _I_ sure am sick of being asked to revise it.

Why the blazes would I want to maintain and post this Notice for a pack of
seeming ingrates?  I assure you I am heartily sick of doing so!   

Wanna take over?  Be my Welcome Guest...it does Sweet Fanny Adams for me!

Toodle-oo,
