Friends, Romans, Lurkers, lend me your bandwidth. Within this month we've had
two requesters turn artists because they decided something. They deicded that
if no one is going to do it for them, they would be the best ones for the job.
Thusly I have decided to put toghether a text file along the lines how to
do-it-yourself. I want to know, would anyone care to have this, or would I be
just wasting my time. I hate wasting my time. So I will put this up for vote.
If I get 10 votes for it here, I'll do it. No multple votes people, I'll be
checking e-mail addresses. If you are a lurker, come out for a second, follow up
this post with a "Go for it dude" and you can go back to lurking. I know one of
these already exists, so if you think I'm wasing my time, tell me. If I'm not,
speek up. 10 votes and counting.

Shoot, though I had an easy out on that one.
By the way, does anyone mind if I make it 4 files covering different
aspects of ascii art. I know I could cut it down If I wanted to, but I
feel this will best serve people, at least better than that "How to start
in Ascii Art" that gets reposted every month. I just don't want to
duplicate that file.
