'Yes' to all of the above.

I am not particularly creative in designing ascii art, I'm one of those
lurkers who periodically reads thru this list and if there is something I
see which I like, I admit to having copied it -- and some I've used in my
signature files...

I have NEVER removed the artist's initials and/or signature when I have
done so -- to remove the original artists's signature and present the
artwork as one's own is plagiarism, pure and simple.

Occasionally, I will get a private post from someone who has seen a
certain piece of ascii art in my signature, praising ME for the work -- I
always make it a point to respond to such posts, correcting their
misperception that _I_ was the artist who came up with the design, and I
make sure to name the artist, if known, and steer the poster to this
newsgroup if they are interested in seeing more of the artist's work...
