I believe you.
I didn't accuse you.
I guess if I had said "Oh wow, there is that JRO cartoon, cool! Gosh
what happened his initials aren't on it, I bet you didnt know it was his
and you might want to put them on, like 'Original by JRO' or something."
you wouldn't have taken it as a personal attack. I wasn't meant as one.

Excerpt from the FAQ for this news group:
10. Can I post or use other people's ASCII art?

  Don't assume that if somebody posts something to a newsgroup, that gives you
  the right to use it however you like; copyright laws still apply. For more
  information, see the article `Copyright Myths FAQ: 10 big myths about
  copyright explained' in news:news.announce.newusers. (It is also available at
  http://www.clari.net/brad/copymyths.html.)

  ASCII art is often an exception to this rule, though: generally, ASCII artists
  don't mind if you copy their pictures and repost them or put them on your own
  Web site for your personal use. There are a few important conditions, however.

  * If the picture contains a few letters in one corner which don't seem to be
    part of the picture, they're the artist's initials. DO NOT remove these
    initials -- would you cut away the part of a Van Gogh painting containing
    his name? Leaving the initials on is a small price to pay for being able to
    use the picture for free.

  * If you're going to use a picture in your signature file, or in a place (such
    as a log-in screen) which means you're going to be using it a lot, you
    should really e-mail the artist (or post to the newsgroup, if you don't know
    their address) and ask for permission, because otherwise people may get the
    mistaken impression that you were the one who drew the picture.

  As for posting other people's ASCII art, after a discussion in
  news:alt.ascii-art the following rules were agreed upon:

  1. If an ASCII ART picture has initials on it, leave them on when posting it.
  2. If an ASCII ART picture doesn't have initials on it, mention that you
     didn't draw it when posting it.
  3. If somebody posts a picture without initials and you have an original copy
     with initials, feel free to repost the original version. The repost ought
     not to be taken personally, as we all know that ASCII art often loses
     proper credits. Responses to the repost are not necessary.

_____- I didn't have a copy of the original handy, sorry.
