I'm sure that most people wouldn't mind
so long as the initials were still there somewhere...

I am reminded though of an email I received
a long time ago (close to 3 years ago) when
I first started making the ASCII pics.  I don't
remember who offered me this tidbit of info,
but I think it is useful.

I was told:
When signing your ASCII pics, add the initials 
to the 'left' of the picture.  If they are on the
right, it is very easy for people to 'snip' them
off when copying to repost.   Of course,
people might still snip them off if they are on
the left.  However, the person who does that
has to make a conscious effort to do so-- and
replace the area with spaces.   This seems to
make sense to me.
