You wanna rape ascii art for commercial spam? AAAaaaarrrghhh, if only these 100%-pure-crap spammers would now LEAVE the net instead of raping it for their own good, I would start to believe in a god. I would suggest everybody starts with sending you 2 emails of 50K in size. It's called a legal mailbomb. -- Lennert Stock (Technical Support) Demon Internet - http://www.demon.nl/

I agree with Lennert... don't use ASCII art for commercial spamming...
I cringe with the thought that you may have taken some of my artwork and
are possibly making money from it.... EEERRRGGGHHH!
