So if you have read it or are going to, please take a moment to respond
to his hard work with some comments, good &/or bad.


Michael, 

I reposted your essay address in a new thread along with your wish for
some feedback.

I felt that it was a great essay. I only wish I could have used it in
college also. *S*

I didn't totally agree with the Stereograms section though. I felt that
even if it is repetitive sections, someone still created them by using
characters used in ascii art to make them. I think as long as you use
the correct set of charcters (to be universally acceptable) and what you
create is some kind of picture it should be considered ascii art.

But hey that is how I feel. Over all, I thought is was a great essay,
even though there were no samples....*S*

Peace,

Donovan
