I had no idea that that people were offended by the "mustn't" in the
phrase that Veronica took from the chart I made. Goodness!! I had no
intention of antagonizing or belittling anyone with it. Here is an
alteration:

=================================================================

and I have also altered my short version chart:

-----------------------------
Please examine the following chart. Note that there are no characters
that look
like � � � � � � � � nor are there any letters with accents.

       ======================================

Naturally, you are all children of the universe and will want to use
characters that are not on that chart; you should feel free to type out
keyboard art using many different fonts and characters. Exchange your
creations with your e-friends via e-mail or put them on your webpage but
PLEASE do not post any nonstandard keyboard art in the newsgroup
alt.ascii-art because you will just get a lot of grief.
