The people who do the ascii art for the nfo files that come with
warezed software.  For more info look at some of the key/serial
documents that come with the software available on

It has been said that you can't distingwish a reasonably advanced
science from magic.  Well it is also true that as soon as you get
enough people into a group that factions will start to exist in it.
It is one thing to non-homophobic.  It is another thing to be proud of
your pre-oprative transsexual lesbian son.  There will always be sub
groups.  It is the way of the world. 

And the question was "why don't demosceners post here?".  Not "we hate
those guys because ...".  The first one is curiosity.  The second one
is what you are complaing about.  I think you are a touch off base.

The only group I am in is alt.ascii-art.  Thats enough for me.  It
gives me a place to post my art.  I don't care what other people post
as long as it is ASCII art and not some other kind of art.  I do 3d
ascii, butterfly ascii, comic ascii and of course ASScii.

This isn't a friendly group?  This is one of the friendlest newsgroups
I have ever seen.  The only time any one insults someone else is in
jest and that is usually limited to Kirra (sp?) and Tran.

Let me second that.  Don't top post.  Its bad.

Because people are to lazy to learn.

A: Because it upsets the natural flow of reading.
Q: Why is top posting so rude?
