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.

As one of the people he's talking about, the man who was personally given
this newspgroup worms, I say GO DO IT! I'll even be willing to offer a
little help if I can.

I'm all for it too.... Any help for people is almost always a good thing, 
and the best way to get new art here is too help people along.

Besides.. it's not like _I_ could use any pointers from other people :^)

Go for it, dude.

Seriously, I've always been amazed at how you pholks can come up with 
some of this stuff... obviously the gif->ascii conversions are nothing 
terribly special, but the hand-made stuff is incedible! 

If you can write a text file that would show a novice like ME how to do 
it, I'd be mightily impresed and eternally greatful. Thanks!

You're the teacher. 4 files is just fine with me. Who am I to quibble?

Waiting, but not patiently.

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.
