["Meriday in the Morning" art by Mike Jittlov snipped]

Now, it's possible that you didn't mean to imply that that picture was your
own work, but the comments you responded to do tend to make that implication
for you.  

For all of you out there saving and reposting this stuff, please try to keep 
the artists' credits with their artwork.  Who wants to create and post art
just to see it come back with either no name or someone else's name on it?!

(I have this mental picture of a cat-a-list).  Be that as it may, I have 
been thinking of writing in on exactly that subject.  I'm not an ascii 
artist, and I really enjoy the art.  Puting someone else's work under 
your own name is theft.  Just posting it without saying one way or the 
other is misleading at best.  *If the art is worth saving, the artist's 
name is worth saving.*  You don't have to save the whole post; the 
artist's name and e-mail address when saved as plain text proabably won't 
even increase the size of the file.  I think anyone who painted a 
picture, wrote music, lyrics, poetry, or had a photograph published would 
be pretty ticked if they weren't credited.  If you think it is so easy, it 
isn't worth crediting, do your own!  (If you at least try, perhaps you'll 
appreciate it more.)  Please give artists the credit they are due!.

I recently incorporated 2 new ascii's into my sig, and at the time that I
copied them I didn't think to note the artists' names.  So, if anyone can
tell me who did the violin (which I modified) and the 1911 style pistol
(to which I added DVC) I would appreciate it so that I can credit them in
my sig.  Thanks.
