the moderation thing

First of all, I must say I would love to see this group go to rec.* I even originally felt that keeping flame/make money fast/greencard posts out of here is a good idea. However, I got to think a little bit further. I've actually created things that were spinoffs from some of these flamewars. For example, during one of the flamewars I picked up a piece of ascii which I turned into a sign for the local university bulletin board system, this is what I created: ................................................................. ..............................................,,:;+=====;,....... ...........................................;+=============:...... ..........................................,=======;;=======...... .............................,,:;+=====;,.,=======.;======;...... ..........................;+=============:,============+......... .........................,=======;;=======,=============......... .................========,=======.;======;,=======;;======....... .......;======..=========,============+:..,=======.;=======...... .....;=======;+...=======,=============...,==============........ .......;=======...=======,=======;;======.,==========+........... .......;=======...=======,=======.;=======....................... .......;=======...=======,=============.......................... .......;=======...+======:=========+............................. .......;=======.,;=======........................................ .......;================:........................................ ......;==============+,.......................................... .......,;++++++;;;;:,............................................ ................................................................. 1993 Curtis Wanner I also picked up some lettering that I'm currently creating a figlet font for, this is what I believe was part of the original post: DDDDDDDDDDDDD HHHHHHH !!! D::::::::::::DDD H:::::H !!:!! D:::::::::::::::DD H:::::H !:::! DDD:::::DDDDD:::::D H:::::H !:::! D:::::D D:::::D UUUUUU UUUUUU H::::H HHHHH !:::! D:::::D D:::::D U::::U U::::U H::::HH:::::HHH !:::!

DDDDDDDDDDDDD UUUUU UUUU HHHHHHH HHHHHHH !!! So in a place where ideas can come from the strangest of places, I don't feel that moderation is proper.
