Oh, I know you post to them!!!!!

I was just being kinda funny....        :-)

I also remember you from comp.ai and comp.ai.alife, both of which
I also read.....

(BTW, I'm planing to do an AI project soon, an a mobile robot, but
you probably knew that, if you read comp.robotics.misc.....)


Of course, I refuse to use any physical layout/presentation tags, so
<I> is on my list of big no-no's.....



Anyway, let's get back to the discussion on why we shouldn't use
ASCII art on web pages....

If I were writeing a speach reader, I would make :-), :), :->, etc...
just be said as a smiley.

"Neat!  :-)" would be read as "Neat! Smiley"

Of course, I doubt this will be done, so smileys are probably a bad
idea. (Yes, I know I use a few on my web page, but anyway, how would
a sight-impaired (blind) person play my 3D mazes?)


I'm tired....  Yawn....  Let's argue tommorow, ok?...      :-)
