Who wants to create and post art : just to see it come back with either no name or someone else's name on it?! : -Catalyst (I have this mental picture of a cat-a-list). Be that as it may, I have been thinking of writing in on exactly that subject. I'm not an ascii artist, and I really enjoy the art. Puting someone else's work under your own name is theft. Just posting it without saying one way or the other is misleading at best. *If the art is worth saving, the artist's name is worth saving.* You don't have to save the whole post; the artist's name and e-mail address when saved as plain text proabably won't even increase the size of the file. I think anyone who painted a picture, wrote music, lyrics, poetry, or had a photograph published would be pretty ticked if they weren't credited. If you think it is so easy, it isn't worth crediting, do your own! (If you at least try, perhaps you'll appreciate it more.) Please give artists the credit they are due!. Diane Wenner
