Veronica...from time to time you do seem to say the right things to newbies...far more effectively than the FAQs seem to do. :-) This year it seems that alt.ascii-art has been invaded by an unusual number of 13 year-olds or younger children and I have real doubts that they are old and mature enough to effectively read and understand the FAQs no matter how much they may wish to understand them. Usenet informational documents, FAQs, RFCs et al are written for adults not children and often contain lots of Usenet jargon. That is not very surprising if and when it is acknowledged that newsgroups are all intended for adults not children. The K12 hierarchies for schools are intended to provide the early learning curve and the Universities eventually help to complete process later by providing access to the Net for their students.

Those were actually Sarah Day's early pictures when she was not attaching her name/intitials so I actually had them filed with "-Sarah Day-" attached but I changed them all for this particular posting...got the first tag wrong and copied all the rest...bad decision on my part. Good Day-like excuse though. :-)( Actually I don't think anyone could have thought that they were your pictures. Now watch out for a "Look, look, look..." posting from Uno-Hoo! *8-( Bye,
The pictures below which you have chosen for examples of my art (which, by
the way, you had changed my middle initial in)are earlier ones that I myself
really do not like and am not very proud of. I have only been doing ascii
art for less than a year, you know, so have not had as much experience as
you. I do not appreciate your insults here (for they are insults, no matter
what you call them) and wish you would not think of me as inferior for being
the age that I am. It is not my fault that I was born later, okay? Plus, for
this purpose, you had to choose some of my worst pics to demonstrate your
(insulting) point. You might have at least used a better one like this:

Hmm...now why am I not surprised that you take it as an insult? I've already commented before that you seem to me to be "tarred with the same brush" ( having similar traits and attitudes ) as your friend, Mr.Casso, who also sees insults when there are none intended. I really don't think that 13 year olds can fully understand FAQs, documents and literature which were written for mature adults. That is not an insult but more likely to be fact and it does not itself make those young people stupid. It is more likely to be their own behaviour and attitudes that makes them appear stupid. > -Sarah (13 and proud) Pride is the most deadly of the Seven Deadly Sins. After Hubris comes Nemesis. "Pride always cometh before a fall". I am quite surprised that you are indeed 13 years old because some of your pictures, I think would suggest a much younger child, say 7 or 8, but of course physical age and actual maturity are not necessarily related...it very much depends on each individual. I'm not saying they are poor pictures it's just that the level of perception and age in a child often shows in their pictures: ,~~;,~~.~~, (===========.. _ ~~``` ` ` \\ ( | |@ , @ | , ';)) \\ ' ( ' ` (( \\`._V__/^;' '; \\;.'

Good! a 13 year old can read and fully understand a FAQ then,or any other "literature written for mature adults" (I'm not sure I understand those myself... but I'm not mature that's for sure. Most of my drawings will tell you that). ObAscii: Ffflebeleeehhh... Ffflebeleeehhh... I am 13!

I was afraid our initials might get a bit confused when Sarah chose
to use 'smd' :(

You tell 'em, honey.
In view of the fact that we do have some young'uns reading alt-ascii, I am going to have to seriously reconsider running any
more dirty 'toons.

You seriously weakened your argument by using your own pictures. We've seen your full-frontal self-portrait and which suggest that you are not 7 or 8, not even 13 years of age, although some children can be remarkably well developed, physically, even at 13. Child brides are not uncommon in certain parts of the world. Toodles,

With time and practice, the pictures will improve. IMO, age ought not to matter in this newsgroup. However, as a parent, I would not let my child have free reign on the internet (and that includes USENET)-- supervision is necessary. Similarly, I would not let my kids wander the airport without proper supervision and instruction..-- it just makes sense... Hopefully all the minors in our NG have supervision and support. Be wary of strangers, kids-- even apparently nice ones. Colin, you're in NZ --unfortunately many kid in the US are permitted to run rampant with little controls-- but it is not your place nor mine to correct that problem. Understanding it may help... Minors-- if you are going to participate in this newsgroup, don't use your age as an excuse for your ignorance.

One of those places is right here on Net and the time is any time we participate in Net activities and an opportunity presents itself. Just my personal view.

The initials were corrected by Shanaka Dias later. Actually all of your pictures I chose to post to illustrate my remarks carried no initials or name at all...you were not attaching them to your pictures at that time. > ...are earlier ones that I myself really do not like and am not > very proud of.

Being content that you have done your best is an infinitely better philosophy to adopt, and I'm quite sure that you tried to do your best with those pictures. Those early pictures of yours are probably every bit as good or better than many of my pictures, but that as not the point I was making at all. My point was that they all looked ( to me personally ) like the work of a 7 or 8 year old child rather than one of 13 years old. Some very young children indeed do some wonderful pictures in keeping with their age. > I do not appreciate your insults here (for they are insults, no > matter what you call them) They are my personal opinions...if you see them as insults and choose to call them insults then you are fully entitled to do so. It will not stop me giving my opinions. > and wish you would not think of me as inferior for being the age > that I am. It is not my fault that I was born later, okay? Er...I think you probably mean "born earlier"? Anyway it's irrelevant because no one can control their age and, in any case, age has nothing to do with inferiority has it? Try to be thankful someone gave you the gift of life...and try to use it well. > Plus, for this purpose, you had to choose some of my worst pics to > demonstrate your (insulting) point. You might have at least used a > better one like this: I could see nothing wrong with your pics that I posted. I simply gave my opinion that they looked, to me, like the work of a 7 or 8 year old child...that does not make them inferior or bad. My posting was not a review of all your pictures. I was illustrating my opinion following your statement that you were 13 years of age... that was new news to me. Like I've said to you before...get your facts right instead of posting things which you continually have to make apologies or lameduck excuses for later. I make mistakes too but that does not make your mistakes any better. If you by chance are trying a "Casso-style insult ploy" here in these last 2 messages of yours, I would advise you not to use Casso as one of your role models however much you may agree with his attitudes and activities in this newsgroup. It is clear from his many postings that he has taken you under one of his tiny wings to protect you.

It is the application of the principles and netiquette in the FAQS that Colin is referring too. I'm glad you are really good with computers though.

Nope, that picture really does look like a kinky condom in actual use and you yourself made it even more explicit with a diddle of it that you did. I can repost that diddle if you need reminding.

Sorry, but you gave your age away as 13 when you responded to Martin Atkins in Sarah Day's thread " This is a Public Forum " Remember?

I was merely attempting to point out that Computer manuals and newsgroup FAQs are quite different things. A FAQ explains what a newsgroup is about and guidelines for behaviour when posting. Understanding a FAQ is no trial. It is the application of the FAQ, the guidelines and netiquette (the very purpose of the FAQ) that I believed Colin to be referring to, not JUST the understanding. Hence the reference to intelligence and wisdom. It may take some intelligence to understand computer manuals and FAQs, but my argument is that it takes wisdom to apply what you have learnt in the right situation (maturity!?!). >>I'm glad you are really good with computers though. > >Um, where did I say this??

I do not count Bill Gates as 1. normal 2. A teenager of today However, I made the somewhat foolish assumption that you counted yourself as one of the teenagers that had "got really good with computers".
