I think I'll opt for 3. Looks like some high school kids got bored, had to much time on their hands and started making little pictures out of fonts. Wo-hoo. Not sure I'd call it art. -- Liz and the Kitty Mafia Miss Kitty, Pooh Bear, Tigger, Hai-Lee, Mia-Tu, Loki, Akasha, Tiberius, Fuki, Sundae, Max, and Guiness Visit us at: http://www.abbeyrescue.org Veronica Karlsson <aci...@earthling.net> wrote in message news:375...@earthling.net... > > Veronika ... said: > > > [1] They don't "see" the pictures (or find it difficult to "see" them). > This is similar to not "seeing" those "pictures" that just consist > of a lot of dots and are supposed to be "3D" somehow.

Why are you wasting space posting all these stupid little font thingies that somewhat resemble cats? I assume that was the look you're going for right?

Curious, I visited the above link. This is what I found on the "about" portion of this web page.... My mission is really very simple! I'm working towards a day when there are more good homes than there are cats! A very important part of that goal is getting as many cats as possible spayed or neutered! So, that's what I try to do! Copied and pasted here for your information, dear readers. This, as you can see, is a woman with a mission in life. She wouldn't think of wasting space on the internet, much less usenet. Not while there are homeless cats out there. I must say, I totally agree with her! Cats NEED good homes, or rather, good homes NEED cats. There is nothing like a good tamale, and you can only make a REAL tamale from catmeat. Tamales are only served in the best homes, of course. It is refreshing to see how this woman promotes the culinary arts, in the hope that one day there will be so many homes out there where fine "cat" is being served, that a shortage of this delectable meat shall be common. Bravo! As for the reproductive organs.... Well, I usually throw those away. It's obvious Liz knows more about cat than I do, but still... I just can't get used to the idea of eating reproductive organ meats. "Serve it up, Aunt Lizzy!" \ "Yeah! Mom's tamales \ \\\\ are never THIS good!"

If I could only make font thingies as well as Liz makes cat. Jonathon R. Oglesbee oglesbee@ mail.fullnet.net
