Yes, it is ASCII-art, because there are no non-ASCII characters in your pictures
which are pretty good by the way.

But, since you have been reding this NG for quit a while now, you also know that
"diddling" is customary here whever we see the chance. (and i rarely get the
chance to diddle :-))

<<sn>>

It's not really the subject, but because of these one-line-cigarets i
'suddenly' remind that there is a newsgroup out there with the name::

alt.toothbrush.______iiii
(not sure about the amount of '_' and 'i')

If it has to fit on one line, then with one of these cigarets above
you could make a group called alt.smoking.))))_________))

(but i think it's ''illegal'' to use ')' in groupnames.. not sure)

My english is not so well ( I speak and write better dutch <LOL>) I did 
not know the meaning of diddle 
My dutch-english english-dutch books are a little bit old ( like me 
smile smile)  and a lot of words are not in the books :-(( but I found  
diddle  =  inpikken   grinnn

Nice  Peter  I just made the smoke a little bit longer  
I had  made some more but cannot remember the exact drawings. I always 
put these ascii's next to te famous poem for the Sinterklaas viering 
I do  not know  why  but all of my family knew what present came from me 
:-)

Correct me, if I am wrong, but shouldn't the smoke and the flag
point to the same direction?

Neither did i when i first entered this group, but i learned the meaning by
looking at _what_ they diddled.

In a few words, diddling is changing a picture someone else made. Usually to
help the artist to make his (or her) picture look better.

Well, diddling is just that. Sort of. "inpikken" is more like stealing as to
where "diddling" is more like helping the artist or adapting a picture.

You're wrong, unless you use a java interface (chat via a webpage).

Instead you could use mIRC or a similar program. Ask anyone from our "old"
newsgroup how to use it if you don't know how.

Ah, you have made it look better still!

See, that's what's diddling is all about. You learn new techniques every time
someone diddles your pic :-)

Then i'm surprised you can't send ASCII-art.
I have the "splasher" script, with it you can easily send ASCII pics as long as
you have saved them as .TXT files.

I'm not lauging at you, i laughing because i can imagine why people know the
