SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

While I'm not much of an art critic, I don't see any art in your
message.  If I wanted to read these annoying messages I would be reading
them in an appropriate group like alt.make.money.fast or something like
that.  Please don't waste my time, bandwidth and disk space with your
rude and annoying messages.  This group is for ascii art.
