Actually, politely informing the person of their mistake usually has a
better effect than flaming, and who needs flames anyway?

Perhaps a little less defensive response would have a better effect as
well. He called Casso's postings detestable, so calling it an "I love
Casso" post was not quite reasonable, and he's far less likely to change
his opinion of you now.

*shrugs*

I would, however, love to inquire of the recent de-lurkers if they have
any ascii art that they've been keeping hidden as well? I know that
reading this group makes me want to draw ascii, so I assume the feeling
arises in others, and so one could not lurk long without at least trying
it... at least you might get some helpful advice by posting your work.
