TALK: Who created this heart?

Hi,

I'm a newbie to ascii art (I only subscribed when my newsreader informed me
of this new group).  I'm working on a song transcription for my fellow JWH
fans on the guitar tablature newsgroups and thought I'd include a heart I
spotted in one of the early postings.  I've tampered with it a bit (it had
underscores in the top line which don't look good with all character sets,
so I used full stops (periods) instead) but now the article has completely
vanished from my news system I can't find out the two people who jointly
originated it (I think one did the heart and the other smoothed it out).

I'd like to give credit where it's due, so if anyone knows who other than
jgr...@trumpet.aix.calpoly.edu helped create it I'd appreciate an email reply.

   Here are the two entries for the heart.  The first one is from the 
first SAAA.

   That's all the info I have on that.  Maybe somebody else can tell you 
more if you want.  Hope this helps.
