Sounds good to me -- I thought Krogg's levels were quite clever, and I'd
already archived his post for use when revising the FAQ later. One point
though Martin, and that is that your revision should be version
2.0.2.m1, not 2.0m, because the current version of the FAQ
(http://cantua.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpt26/art/ascii/faq/faq.txt) is 2.0.2.

I'm (mainly) in lurk mode at the moment, 'coz I'm actually trying to get
some good marks at university this year (!), so I don't have much time
for character-twiddling. :-(

But hopefully some time in the next few weeks I'll get around to
producing version 3.0 of the FAQ -- making it a lot shorter and more
readable, removing the broken links, and putting it under the Open
Content License (http://www.opencontent.org/opl.shtml). That all sound
ok by everybody?

Thanks Martin for taking up where our dear departed Colin left off,
regularly posting the FAQ and assorted other documents -- as I have
mentioned before, it's something I would do except that I am often away
from the Net for extended periods of time.

Oh, and one last thing. I can't *believe* that a.a-a is actually holding
a vote on what the correct verb is for creating ASCII art ... as long as
it's understandable, why not let anyone use any word they damn well like???
