Excellent repost, Shimrod. I laugh to much to add to it, at this time. Here's my version of your suggested "lawyerstein": As you can see from the above picture, lawyerstein's head is so far up his ass, that he has disappeared from view. Jonathon R. Oglesbee ogl...@fullnet.net--removetoreply

Surprise, surprise! I got word that Spunkystein and llizardstein have copyright notices on their webpages! What do you say now, Shimrodstein? The idea does not appear that stupid to other stakeholders on this newsgroup ... Responding to the other posting in this thread, Jonnystein does sound like someone who does not get much credit in his life, and he is now telling us not to expect any credits either ... Sorry flump, your kind words are well taken, it is just the Grandpa Devilstein in me who could not resist throwing things back at people. 01WW5WWW10WWWW5WWW20WWWW5WWW30WWWW5WWW40WWWW5WWW50WWWW5WWW60WWWW5WWW70 02 02 03 Frogstein and Birdstein, Initials 03 04 by Pete Casso Revision 970823 04 05 05 06 o 06 07 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~/ 07 08 ~ ~ ~ LEAVE INITIALS ON ASCII ART ! ~ ~ ~/ 08 09 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~/ 09 10 / 10 11 ,oo ,oo ,oo ,oo ,oo / 11 12 oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) _==_ / 12 13 -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ( "> / 13 14 " ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" (> )>/ 14 15 ( -)" ( -)" ( -)" ( -)" ^^ 15 16 " " " " " " " " 16 17WW5WWW10WWWW5WWW20WWWW5WWW30WWWW5WWW40WWWW5WWW50WWWW5WWW60WWWW5WWW70 01WW5WWW10WWWW5WWW20WWWW5WWW30WWWW5WWW40WWWW5WWW50WWWW5WWW60WWWW5WWW70 02 02 03 Frogstein and Birdstein, Copyrights 03 04 by Pete Casso Revision 970823 04 05 05 06 o 06 07 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~/ 07 08 ~ ~ ~ PUT COPYRIGHTS ON ASCII ART ! ~ ~ ~/ 08 09 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~/ 09 10 / 10 11 ,oo ,oo ,oo ,oo ,oo / 11 12 oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) ,oo -) _==_ / 12 13 -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ( "> / 13 14 " ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" ,oo -)" (> )>/ 14 15 ( -)" ( -)" ( -)" ( -)" ^^ 15 16 " " " " " " " " 16 17WW5WWW10WWWW5WWW20WWWW5WWW30WWWW5WWW40WWWW5WWW50WWWW5WWW60WWWW5WWW70

I have my ASCII art on the internet to share freely with others. If I didn't want to share them, I'd keep them to myself. I expect people to use them-- and I don't mind people using them for private use and entertainment. What I do not want to see is my artwork being used to someone else's financial benefit. If and when I find that happening, without my knowledge and approval, I will follow-up with the copyright legalities. ... and please cease with the 'stein after referring to me.

>Yes, I have a copyright on my webpage-- so what? <<stuff elided>> I will follow-up with the copyright legalities. Exactly, I think we are in agreement here! >... and please cease with the 'stein after referring to me. I am *not* one of >your "groupies" or "followers". Well, you began renaming me, so I renamed you :-) >Why can't you end this flinging/flaming/throwing back at people? It reminds >me of my age-school children bickering with one another. I would hope that >you could behave better than a 7 year old. I do throw things back at people, but what you forget to say is that it is people like YOURSELF who always BEGIN throwing things at me. The latest example is that I announced "Text Art Plus" for people to enjoy, and you (and Veronica) started to throw things at me. THAT poisons the atmosphere. Therefore, if YOU want to behave better than a 7 year old, my dear, than YOU better stop taking such unsavory alternatives. It is really very simple: If you don't want me to throw things back at you, don't throw things at me in the first place! P.S. I can't help finding it despicable, YOU started bickering like a 7 year old, and then try to accuse me of that! 01WW5WWW10WWWW5WWW20WWWW5WWW30WWWW5WWW40WWWW5WWW50WWWW56 02 02 03 Frogstein and Birdstein, Languages 03 04 by Pete Casso 970728 04 05 05 06 Frogstein, what do the French say? 06 07 07 08 / I rembember! ... in English ... 08 09 _==_ / 09 10 ( "> oo. 10 11 (> )> (- ) 11 12 ^^ " " 12 13 13 14 Frogstein, what do the Germans say? 14 15 15 16 / Die Schweinerei! ... 16 17 _==_ / 17 18 ( "> oo. 18 19 (> )> (- ) 19 20 ^^ " " 20 21 21 22 ... no translation necessary! 22 23 and uhh ... what do the cartoonists say? 23 24 24 25 / What do you mean? 25 26 _==_ / 26 27 ( "> oo. 27 28 (> )> (- ) 28 29 ^^ " " 29 30 30 31 Well, are cartoons funny? 31 32 / 32 33 Not always! 33 34 / They just reflect reality! 34 35 _==_ / 35 36 ( "> oo. 36 37 (> )> (- ) 37 38 ^^ " " 38 39 39 40 Wow!

Yes, folks, when reading the dejanews archives pay attention to the insinuations in Spunkystein's articles, such as the one that Colin recently fell for. I find these insinuations despicable. A very sick puppy is surprisingly innocuous compared to the things that have been thrown at me, you can expect more excitement at the dejanews archives, folks! Well, you (and Veronicastein) fired the first shots, I invite you to stop first, ha! Sorry folks, this crap may or may not continue! VerySickPuppystein :-)
My dear Veronicastein, you should learn how to give constructive criticism, because that's definitely not what you do. After you ran out of arguments in a rational discussion, you asked for public help in your efforts to insult me. This is consistent with your behavior in the past, posting anything from cannibalism to clubbing with baseball bats, and any other perversions that you can think of. I invite everyone on this newsgroup to convince him/herself at the dejanews archives. Sorry everyone, we all have to continue putting up with this crap. ,, ( "> ,(->)-> http://members.aol.com/petecasso ( ^^ Frogstein and Birdstein (ascii art comic strips) Jump, Frogstein, Jump!

[ 8< ] To complain to one person that something he posted is not suitable for the group is something that should be done directly to that person. I agree with you on this but in this case it was a question of where the line should be drawn, what is ascii art and what is not ascii art, and I feel that that IS relevant to more than one person in this group (which is more than one can say about your post). > SO dont come here and try be > some spam police by sending spam. I never intended to be a "spam police", I intended to question wether this "TAP" stuff could be called "ascii art" or not, in other words a fundamental question about how we define the pictures that are the reason for the existence of the group. From the responses I have seen so far I draw the conclusion that those who have some deeper insight into how computers work seem to agree with me that PC's "TAP" does not belong here and those who never bothered their brains with ones and zeros but look more at the artistic side of it seem to have the opinion that it does. > I have nothing about critic but send it to me by MAIL. > Special message to joan and veroica, i have seen that you like to jump > on all people that doesnt think as you do.

This a little bit more complex. If I tell someone that the picture X was made by Y by email only, no other 'clueless newbie' will see this information. Result : I have to write more and more often the same email to a lot of people. Solution : Post the same message to the Usenet where many people will read it and understand that as an example for a more general principle. ;) This is true for helpful advice as well as for criticism. > I have nothing about critic but send it to me by MAIL. That's what I like most : people who write DO THIS while doing exactely the opposite. :( > Special message to joan and veroica, i have seen that you like to jump > on all people that doesnt think as you do.
