Everybody is from Utah too! Wow, cosmic. We must be at the centre of the
universe.

Everyone inside your computer is also 15 years old!

Don't worry, Geechstein! Some asciigangsteins on this newsgroup behave like 7
year old brats, and they come from all over the world!

er, I use 80 but anything from 75 to 80 should be fine. For asciiart, it`s good
to pick a width as big as your screen... but not any more than that or you`ll
have to scroll across all the time.

   Um, yeah, 75 to 80 *for* line wrapping... <g>  but many of us
only go to 72, so that would probably make a better limit (or even
70, to allow for quoting), at least if you plan to post/send your
art (see part 6 of the FAQ).

It's all a bit of a pain because it depends how your newsreader's
posting set-up is configured and what right-hand margin you choose
for wordwrapping to begin on your Word Processor, Text Editor, or
whatever it is you use to type your messages and make your pictures.

I set my Word Processor to wordwrap to begin at column 68 ( the old
Wordstar default ). This will take care of word messages wand Ascii
pictures which get lots of quotation marks added at the left margin.

However some Ascii pictures are very wide and even exceed 80 columns
in width.

Example...the original Moox Brothers was 79 columns wide:

           )    (                         _
           (____)                        / \                 (__)   ==========I
          / =  = \    ~               =='   `==              (oo)    \ |||||| I
          (-O--O-)    ~                8 O O 8        /-------\/      \ ||||| I
           (    )     ~        /------- (   )        / |     ||__o=<   \ |||| I
  /------- ||||||======       / |     || \_/        *  ||----|          \ ||| I
 / |     ||  \/              *  ||----||               ~~    ~           \ || I
*  ||----||                     ~~    ~~
   ~~    ~~
     Groucho Moo-x                Chico                   Harpo



I use 2 posting agents nowadays:

- The TIN newsreader which my ISP has configured to wordwrap at 76
  columns and I cannot change that configuration. If I want to
  repost a wider picture then I have to find some way to reduce
  the original picture in width to 76 or less columns e.g.

Here is the Moox Brothers picture reduced to 75 columns from 79 by
removing spaces between each "person":


           )    (                       _
           (____)                      / \               (__)   ==========I
          / =  = \    ~             =='   `==            (oo)    \ |||||| I
          (-O--O-)    ~              8 O O 8      /-------\/      \ ||||| I
           (    )     ~      /------- (   )      / |     ||__o=<   \ |||| I
  /------- ||||||======     / |     || \_/      *  ||----|          \ ||| I
 / |     ||  \/            *  ||----||             ~~    ~           \ || I
*  ||----||                   ~~    ~~
   ~~    ~~
     Groucho Moo-x              Chico                 Harpo


- FREE AGENT newsreader in which I have the default setting of 76
  right-hand wordwrap but can change that to any width by changing
  the configuration setting and then change it back to the 76 default.

There is more pain from the transmission path from sender to recipient and
from the newsreader/email software of the recipient. The former (transmission
path) is usually not a problem, the latter (software of the recipient) can be
a problem.

Didn't know age was an if-then thing. :)

Personally, I'm two and a half. Which is pretty mature in leopard years.
Well, not too mature in BluePard years, but ya know... :)

Veronicastein is just seven years old. But she has a well developed body,
complete with curves and what not. She is posting her whole body self-portrait
every now and then (I don't have anything handy) but look out particularly for
the "naughty version."

14?...it's all in the mind.

BTW you have not said whether you want Veronica's picture to be 
included as your personal portrait in the Gallery of Ascii Artists?

This is wrong. If anything it should be "The troll who calls himself
King Rathga. Portrait by Veronica Karlsson" (as Dejanews will show you).
I feel deeply insulted by how my picture has been used.

If you do that I will not post to this group again. I have closed the
ascii art section of my homepage in protest against this abuse.

Just in case that this is a suggestion, then this is how I would like to be
known to posterity, since I do nothing else but the 'steins.

I usually (in free agent) just right click in the message window (either

you can look at and post extra large asciis without digging through config
windows!

Well, that`s my tip of the day, :o)

Thanks for clarifying the situation.

Since King Rathga does not appear to be one of the ascii artists
contributing to the newsgroup I will not be adding the portrait of
King Rathga to the Gallery of Ascii Artists.

In any case...for the Gallery of Ascii Artists self-portraits are
always preferable to likenesses created by other people.
