Au contraire, FP.  It is you who are not paying attention to the
content of my posts.

You criticized me for posting diddled art in my ObAscii, claiming that
all ObAscii must be original, and now you're backpeddling on the whole
issue when I point out your original objection would apply to any
posting to the group.  You can demand that all posts be original,
that's your issue, but don't presume to tell me I can't post ascii-art
to this group, regardless of whether you're too dense to recognize new
work or not.

If you only knew how ironic that statement is, maybe then you'd
apologize for accusing me of breaking your new found rules.

I made a statement of fact.

Do you see that part about ObAscii?  That is what you were bleating
about.

I just think that you are sloppy in your attention to detail, and I
was hoping that you would see how stupidly your assumptions were made,
that's all.
