I am not saying that this page should replace the usenet group.
It's a supplement to it. I have no intention to replace it in any
kind.
I'm just providing a service for all the people on it.

I think there should be requests, but how many times haven't you
seen requests for roses, hearts, holiday art, cartoons, etc. etc.
I would like to see much NEW art.
Like Joris and Joan does.
There are too many requests for things that already exists,
and thats were I come in.
I'm in no way forcing you to go to my site at all!

I think you have missed something here.
I'm also passing out requested art, with a message saying:
More on my site. I don't pass out art, when it's huge collections.

I know about Scarecrow.

I'm not just here to get votes for my site. Why would I?
It's not like it mean anything for me.
I have only recieved five votes, and I couldn't care less :)
The Wicked Ascii Art site, was created long before home.sol.no
came up with that idea.

I do also fill requests. I even answer requests by email.

I'm not. If it has appeared that way, I apologize.
I'm not a rude type, I might be a bit stupid sometimes, but I'm all
nice.

I don't want people to do that.
It's a supplement, you hear?

I'm sorry you feel this way, but my website also has links and
advice them to use this newsgroup, so it's vice-versa.
I'm not egoistic, I'm promoting a service.

Yes, I love the newsgroup and I visit it every day.
I want it to be a lively community, and I want more NEW art posted!
