Aiken Drum: Do you expect me to reply? Bateau: No Mr Aiken Drum, I expect you to die! >He stole the ASCII dragon I designed for a friend's BBS called Benden Weyr >(FidoNet 1:140/22.0, sysop Ken Read) back in the 80's. > >I just discovered that this person has taken my dragon and put his own signature >and a little added knight in the lower left corner. > >Well, he's a damned plagiarist. He didn't even steal the final version, sans >spikes on head, back, and tail (it was based on a spiky dragon from a calendar, >Forgotten Realms or something, I don't remember... might have been Smaug laying >waste in a Tolkien calendar now that I think about it). I removed the spikes >and tail to make it look more like Michael Whelan's Pern dragons. > >"His" version is lacking my signature ("BF 89" I think it was) and the tagline >for the BBS on the left. Alas, I lost my copy with the Commodore 64 it was >designed on (via Screen-80) and I dunno if Benden Weyr is still around. Heck, >is FidoNet still around? So... Grrrr fucking keyboard. Try http://www0.delphi.com/bendenweyr/ http://www.bendenweyr.com/ doesn't look like it. This is from a list made in 96: BENDEN WEYR 300/14400 928-7954 24 ?/PC CLONE And 98: Benden Weyr WWIV 9600 928-7954 Black Feather Which is apparently the delphi one. -- | _ .\ ~~ _ ^~ | <')_,/ , ; .\ >(')__, . ` ' , ,______________._ | (_~=/ \._`.'. .\ (_~_/ _, '------:_______ ;==( *BANG* | ='- \=~_) ; .\ ~^~~^~ ` (_~_/ | | `-\ \ *BANG* | -'= .\ ~^~ ~^~~^~ `~' \_; |ICQ:11367619 EMAIL:bateau:-)jupiter-io.net SITE:www.flashback-aw.net
