It appears that you ascii jazzband has gone on tour to
the south pole, and is performing for an audience of penguins.

Hi Dave- you forgot to add the "E" in llizard's return address.. You got caught in her
anti-spam screen (I've done it too)...  Just a note to <aaa> that you need to read
the return addresses in the sigs carefully-  many times they don't match!

I for one, use my Juno account most often, and prefer it for the ASCII art- and I
don't have to worry about the spammail...  Lots of other people use the "spam-
blocks"....

Llizard is awake and posting like crazy!

Feh. I hate it when people do that.  I don't, I put up with the
mailspam, so as not to inconvenience correspondents.

For the record...

So many people have now resorted to corrupting their email addresses 
that I have, in turn, decided to no longer reply to anyone's email 
that bounces when I use the normal reply function on the Elm mailer 
that I use for email.  

I simply cannot be bothered with the hassle required to correct 
peoples' corrupt addresses.

So...if I appear not to have replied to your email perhaps you will 
now know why...one bounce and you've had it !   Harumph !  

Corruption of email addresses could be considered Net-abuse.

But I think you may be fighting a losing battle as more and more people get 
sick of dredging through the rude pieces of irritating and LONGloading 
unsolicited mail. Many people pay by the minute for their time connected and 
really resent paying for junk.

For what it's worth,

I saw the replies before I actually saw this first message. My server is going 
crazy and while I seem to be getting all the posts eventually, they are coming 
out of order. (No doubt a divine punishment for my repeated wickedness at 
altering my e-mail address.)

Actually, my sporadic posting is due to the fact that I have been in the 
woodshed:

I've already had this discussion with llizard... The question was "how
do you tell the difference between a male and a female llizard?" and
here is my suggestion for an answer:

The pictures are based on my picture of a llizard which llizard thought
looked more like a hyena:

  ,vvvvv^=='
 ( \"""\\.
  `

here is my suggestion for the female llizard:

maybe some rounded forms...

  ,nnnnn^=='
 ( \"""\\.
  `

high-heeled shoes...

  ,nnnnn^=='
 ( \"""\\
  ` `   ``

mascara...
         ,
  ,nnnnn^=='
 ( \"""\\
  ` `   ``
  
permed tail...
         ,
  ,nnnnn^=='
 { \"""\\
    `   ``

elegant walk...
         ,
  ,nnnnn^=='
 { \"""/\
  ' ` '  `

that's the female, now how about the male...

one little detail...

  ,vvvvv^=='
 ( \`""\\.
  `

and we can't have that feminine curve to the tail can we...

  __,vvvvv^=='
     \`""\\.

The male is bigger than the female...
            _
 ___'VVVVVVV@`==='
    \\`"""""\\
     ^^      ^^  

NOW can we tell the difference between a male and a female lizard?

female:
         ,
  ,nnnnn^=='
 { \"""/\
  ' ` '  `

male:
            _
 ___'VVVVVVV@`==='
    \\`"""""\\
     ^^      ^^  

Yes! (but can we now tell that they are lizards?)


This doesn't answer the question but somebody might find it amusing
anyway :)
