Eek.. looks like I was wrong.. this bed is faulty! Having a space missing means it can no longer be approved by the Governmental Safety Inspectors, and therefore must be humanely destroyed, or recycled into a childrens toy. Andrew. -- My dog ate my sig file

Andrew PS Sorry this took three attempts to get right.. bloody OE and its spaces.. I think I've figured out its reasoning though.. If there is one blank space before a character at the start of the line it will delete it. If there are two or more spaces before a character at the start of the line it will leave them alone. Ergo, by simply putting ~two~ spaces before each line of the ASCII, it will remain unaltered by Outlook. Ta-Da! ;O) -- My sig file is in my other trousaers

Nope...those drawings were included by Chevalier to illustrate one of his poems. I don't think I've written any poetry unless you count "National Anthem of The Frogs" as a poem? :-) > It's very old -- before Joan or Llizard first posted -- > maybe it is by Rowan Crawford? It isn't Row's eagle either as far as I know. It could have been in one of Steven Sullivan's early collections of Ascii Art posted to rec.humor...before alt.ascii-art was created in September 1993 but he failed to attach authors' names. :-( I have it in my bird archive marked as Unknown: /|_ / |_ / / / > ( > / / / / / / __/ \_____ /' | / /-\ / / / \--/ / / / / -Unknown- ( > / > / _| / __/ /_/ Bye,
Colin Douthwaite, well-known to readers of this newsgroup died suddendly at his home the other day. He had a lot of fun winding people up, and keeping the whole newsgroup community honest with CFV's and the like. I knew him as a flyer of Indian fighter kites, but his interests were many and varied. On the 'net of course no-one knows your age, but Colin was no chicken and he'd had heart problems for a long time, including a very severe heart attack last year. I'd like to think that he's in the sun somewhere, in his little woollen beanie hat, an impish grin on his face as he flys a genuine Nagasaki hata, cutting everyone else out of the sky! - Steve -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

Sad tidings... I sure hope the family is consoled by the thought of all all the people here thinking back to his postings, and the man behind them. Christ van Willegen

I am sincerely shocked to hear of Colin's death. He will be missed I admire his work and his style. With a prayer and a soft smile of the memory of the joy he brought, my deepest sympathy to all who Loved him. Kitten
What sad news. He will be sadly missed. I hope that wherever he is, he will always be arguing to keep things simple.

Hopefully soon I'll have more chance to practice and then I'll be able to contribute more, but for now I really enjoy reading the posts of people like Colin.

|Colin Douthwaite, well-known to readers of this newsgroup died suddendly at

|He had a lot of fun winding people up, and keeping the whole newsgroup
|community honest with CFV's and the like.
|
|I knew him as a flyer of Indian fighter kites, but his interests were many and
|varied. On the 'net of course no-one knows your age, but Colin was no chicken
|and he'd had heart problems for a long time, including a very severe heart
|attack last year.
|
|I'd like to think that he's in the sun somewhere, in his little woollen beanie
|hat, an impish grin on his face as he flys a genuine Nagasaki hata, cutting
|everyone else out of the sky!

'---------------------------
That is very sad to hear. Condolences to all family and friends.
I (and I'm sure all of the newsgroup regulars) will always remember Colin
for his good humour and big part in the newsgroup ... and everyone else in
all of the other newsgroups he posted in, and anyone else who ever met Colin
whether online or offline. Most of all in this newsgroup, Colin will be long
remembered for his excellent, unique ASCII Art and his huge collection which
he maintained expertly.

An old Australian stockman was lying, dying.
So he gets himself up on the one elbow,
and he turns to his mates gathered round him,
and he says:
