Why, thank you! I do hope you didn't mean that too literally..

Darn, ascii shine effects are hard.. But I think I'm starting to learn
how to do that shading thing at last.

I know that some of these look funny to some people.The ones with 
the "A" in them might not seem right as i use Topaz-new for drawing
and viewing ascii.Its a cool font and its "A"'s are thin and tall.
Oh well,I just hope someone like some of them.
