--> Do I understand this correctly? Some moron named Steve thinks
that ASCII art - that is traditionally done with non-proportional
fonts (fixed-width fonts); because it doesn't look right on his
graphical, variable, proportional, font displaying screen; thinks
that thousands of people who've been doing this stuff for years;
are WRONG, just because the stuff doesn't look right to him? And
that he is the only `smart' one that can adjust font size/width,
so that the ASCII art `looks' right on his screen? How perfectly
pathetic, short-sighted, ill-advised, stupid and brainless he is.
LEARN about ASCII-art and its' history before you pass judgement,
on something you obviously know nothing about. This stuff was
being done on university main-frames back in the late 60s (wish
I'd kept that `Snoopy calendar' printout, dammit!) and sent to
clunky dot-matrix printers; then pinned-up in labs, halls & dorms.
Steve - you are an immature, self-centered, clueless jerk. LEARN
something before you open your big mouth and put your keyboard
in it. Anyone can take an ASCII doodle and make it look good on
a GUI-based screen. ASCII art has a history that's older (and
obviously MUCH smarter) than you are. Get a grip. Get a life.

And No. You are thinking of Mindcryme. He is under the impression that ASCII art is to be viewed in his personal choice of font (MS Sans Serif) and that art written to be viewed in this font is correctly formatted, and the art written to be viewed in the, indeed proper, font is incorrect. I'm sorry I did not make this clearer. > that he is the only `smart' one that can adjust font size/width, > so that the ASCII art `looks' right on his screen?
