Try Joan's page. Don't take off the sigs, or you'll NEVER hear the end of it.

Ah, c'mon-- all us folks who make the ASCII art ask is that you give credit where credit is due. We don't make money doing this-- It's pure hobby. We appreciate people leaving initials and signatures with the pictures. Consider it as payment for using our artwork! -joan (and yes, I have dragons at my homepage-- a couple big ones too!) -- ___ ___ ,_;-'-._\__/_.-' ,_\ a\/a ,_\ ,-( _'-._ IS THERE A BUG IN YOUR SYSTEM? ,_\ (==/\ |'-._\ ,_\ -. /\ \/ | |\ ` ,_\ \/==\ '._\7 '._ joan stark <spu...@juno.com> jgs '.

I have a question that I hope someone will answer. I recently got 2 really nice ASCII things in my email, both without SIGs. One is a very nice flower, and I was asked to send it on to 5 people as a kind gesture. The other one looks like a leprechaun, and I was asked to send it out as a good luck charm. I've email both people with a request for SIGs, but they don't know who made them, just got them the same way they sent them to me. How do I go about finding out who made these, and putting the SIGs on before sending them out? Since I've been reading this ng for the last 6 months, the one thing I've learned is that SIGs are important and should never be removed. I do feel right in sending out anything where the SIGs have been removed. Any help is greatly appreciated, and post either here or email me personally. Thanks- CJ mar...@frii.com

When I get something like that I usually send it back to whoever sent it to me - as many times as it says I should... (in this case 5 copies...) or more if I'm in a bad mood.... Don't spread the disease! Kill it! Bomb the spreaders of this shit by returning the required number of copies back to them! > How do I go about finding out who made these, and putting the SIGs on > before sending them out?

I do feel right in sending out anything where > the SIGs have been removed. bla bla bla.... What irritates me about this credit thing is when people try to give me credit for something that I didn't make (or call me "lizard" - I am not llizard!) and, of course, this constant nagging about them.... (I have found that I have to write "I did not make these pictures, I do not know who did, if some of them don't have initials on them don't yell at me because of it...... etc etc etc" or some people will instantly start bitching about it). I haven't yet come across somebody who's put his/her own initials on one of my pictures but I think that would probably be extremely irritating too... General advice: don't mess with the signatures! If a picture has one don't remove it, if it doesn't don't add one! (there's a risk of people getting irritated in either case...) You could always post the pictures here instead of just describing them... :) > > Any help is greatly appreciated, and post either here or email me > personally. > > Thanks- > > CJ > mar...@frii.com -- :) Veronica Karlsson ( e93...@sm.luth.se http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ )
First off, 'tis a wonderful thing you are trying to do, trying to add the
stripped sigs back. The only realistic thing anybody could do would be to
post them here, and ask the regulars if they've ever seen them before.
It's likely that if they've ever been posted before either by the original
author or by somebody before the sigs were stripped, somebody will
recognize it and point out the artist.

NO!!!! This is chain mail crap and it's the kind of junk that clutters the
internet. I send to 5, each of them sends to 5 etc, etc. The originators of
this crap should be lined up and shot. Well, ok, maybe they don't actually need
to be lined up.

If you get one of these pleasant chain letters, go ahead and send it to your friends. Never send to strangers, you might send it to Veronica by mistake! ;) Michael -- T mna...@math.fsu.edu \`.

Never send to strangers, you might send it to Veronica by >mistake! ;) Michael, Sorry for the intrusion, but a very few mathematics. Let's assume very "low" hypothesis about that remail thing: - Out of the 5 mailed persons, only 2 will bother to followup. - An average delay of 3 days between receiving and remailing. So, the number of remailers doubles each 3 days. After three month, how many people would be about to remail it? 2 ^ (90/3) = 2 ^ 30 = 1,073,741,824 Yes, one billion people -- in theory, there isn't so much people on the Net. And even with lower hypothesis, the exponential nature of the thing would make its explodes to such values in about a year. IMHO, the World Wild Wait is slow enough yet with saturated transatlantic backbones, multimedia files downloads, spams and bulk mails, without adding junk remailing into the whole mess...

Nobody has ever sent ME none of these here ascii "flowers". All I git is these nifty git-rich-quick schemes. Man! Some of them sure look great, but this is gittin plumb ridiculous. If I was to make all this money these great scams say I kin git, why I would be a millionaire, by the end of the week. Then, all my relatives would come around, ah beggin and ah borrowin, and I would be plumb broke afore the end of the month. Between you and me, I cain't afford to loose no million dollars. So, I suppose I would rather have the pix, than the scams, which I just cain't afford to take advantage of. I reckon, though, that I would rather be ah gittin dancin girls in the E-type mail, than flowers. Jonathon R. Oglesbee ogl...@fullnet.net--removetoreply
