As I've tried to explain before there is a purpose in what I do.

It encouraged Casso...that is not funny...get a clue Matthew...you've been
in alt.ascii-art since late 1997 and you claim to be a smart guy?

I think I'm gonna call you "Nitpick Thomas"...you have simply ruined your
good work in revising and producing a Modernised FAQuby many of your
postings since...particularly on controversial maters affecting the health
and and enjoyment of this well established and popular newsgroup,
"alt.ascii-art" which Joan Stark recently commented was "in her opinion the
best newsgroup on Usenet"

It has not got that way of it's own accord. Some people do care about the
group even if sarcastic, flippant, negative nitpicker wish to pretend
otherwise.

Everyone should realise that...nobody is perfect.

Sarcasm and your negative attitudes do nothing for the quality of
your arguments at all.  Neither of which escape my comprehension.


>Net activities more sensibly', and not to bash Martin so much.

I Martin continues to make stupid postings, whether targeted at me or not,
then I will certianly let him know my displeasure in no uncertain terms.

If you cannot live with, or appreciate my posts...just don't read them...
I've got absolutely nothing positive or helpful from your contributions to
date.

I am still waiting to read anything positive from Matthew Thomas concerning
the many unwanted threads and postings which have plagued this newsgroup
almost throughout 1998 and peaked with yet another Casso SteinWar Outbreak

>For Martin, IMHO, has done more to help new members of this group, with

That is irrelevant where stupid postings are involved.

Well you've only been here a few months, and I, since September 1993 when the
group was created. 

So how do you can you make that statement above?   You can't, it is invalid.
So just speak for yourself Matthew and no one else!  You are not entitled to
do more than that...so please don't!

Making that remark just shows how clueless you really are about this 
newsgroup and its history or you would not have made such a stupid remark.
The Stein Wars broke out ages ago long before you ever heard of this newsgroup "alt.ascii-art".
Lots of people got involved in the past outbreaks...the fact that _you_
yourself, Matthew Thomas, personally missed them does not mean that they did
not occur.

That is yet another piece of Invalid Misinformation you have dished up today.

So there goes "Nitpicking Thomas" once again...he complaind about no
pictures and now he complains about pictures...people often do not post
originals...so what?  It's still a picture...had you actually ever seen it
before?

Would you have preferred "Mereday" instead?  No because you are such a
thorough and complete Turkey, Matthew...I guess you cannot help it if it
you were born that way...takes all sorts to make a World.


>I wait with bated breath for your original pictures, Colin.

I've posted a few recently...you quite obviously do not even read or even
are care much about "alt.ascii-art"  What DO you care about Mr. Thomas?about

And so you should be feeling that way after this latest piece of inaccurate;
unfactual; invalid; negative; nitpicking posting from you!
