That's a shame. 

Casso, like all trolls will only go away when everyone,
and I mean _everyone_ totally ignores his postings. You seem to have
done well so far but now you have added to the noise and given Casso
what he craves most of all - attention and support for his activities!

However, I think you _do_ deserve a flame about your line length.
Please trim it back to about 72 columns to avoid it wrapping at the
right hand side of the screen.

My posts were not written for you. They were responses to Mr. Casso. 

Ignore my posts if you wish...it makes no impact on me or on what I
may choose to write in response to Mr. Casso.

And that shows just how ill-informed you are on Casso's activities in
this newsgroup over about the last 2 years. I hope by my responses to
save other people from having to respond...that's what Casso wants...
_everyone_ to respond to his posts.

I'm not here to earn a reputation good or bad. I'm here to enjoy
this newsgroup which I have read daily since it's creation in September
1993. I read it for enjoyment and I try my best to make contributions
that others will enjoy.

However, defence of the newsgroup against unwanted activities inevitably
means that I will engage in flamewars if I so choose.

I cannot recall having ever having seen _your name_ in this newsgroup,
alt.ascii-art, until very recently, and so far I have not seen any
memorable postings from you...except this "I love Casso" post of yours
to which I am currently responding.


>Ok, I said it. I feel better now.

Well, I guess that's something beneficial you have got from this
newsgroup as an ignorant ill-informed newbie. Have you read all the FAQs
yet? I doubt that you have. Please read them without delay. It will help.

Oh, and yeah...where are _your_ pictures?
