This are just too great... I am a hero. No need to kiss
my feet or anything, folks. But it's just too good to
let pass up. I only wish I could post this URL in the
clear, without spacing, but my ISP's news server catches
posts that contain URL's, and they don't go no where.
Oh well....

I also peeked in a few 'ascii art downloads", particularly mystic zip file, and alas the same thing--omissions of initials or identity of original ascii artists. Lady graciously admits errors or omissions are not deliberate, however, Im afraid the situation of uncredited, altered or miscredited ascii art will always exist due to files such as these being 'accepted' and 'packaged' in zips and available for circulation. It can start with one person and perhaps a domino effect will occur--not to distribute uncredited art or 'hide' the original artist's identity in the background. Many a point/counterpoint has been taken on these issues, so Im stepping down off of the podium, but not too far from it :) Prudence (ps...I thought for sure I saw the grim reaper with a whole body somewhere and with credits) >

Nothing odd about that, right? Well, she got the idea that I was *insulting* her and sent me a lovely little flame telling me how she would remove the link and *never* link to my homepage again! It seems like this "lady" is just a really cranky person. :-D -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.' (/ `. / ||``._.'

Sometimes the victims of this dreaded malady can be cured, by removal of the pituitary and pineal gland. Sometimes this is accompanied by removal of the hypothalmus, too. However, since there is already general degradation of the brain tissue, this isn't always possible, as the victim would them be left brainless. Oh well. At least she's funny. JRO

Many of the more modern IRC color enthusiasts have changed this practice, and are continuing to do so. Still... I have never really understood why anyone would want to color and "play" someone else's picture. It's far more entertaining to make your own. ... And to that effect... I reckon I should make some tutorials along those lines. JRO
I emailed with her a couple of times a year or so ago and I thought she was pretty nice. As far as I can remember I was writing about some dead links on her site. I had reviewed the site for a newsletter I was writing for at the time.

>I emailed with her a couple of times a year or so ago and I thought >she was pretty nice. As far as I can remember I was writing about some >dead links on her site. I had reviewed the site for a newsletter I was >writing for at the time. I'm glad that someone else thinks that she has been pretty nice. I've had several emails from (and to) her... she's been very nice and pleasant towards me. Of course, I figured that if I just posted my impressions, I'd get someone to accuse me of saying nice words only because her site mentions me several times. No bias here... she _HAS_ been nice to me. And as for the "colors" - it's pretty much the norm if you visit mIRC. Many of the pop-ups are very brightly colored. They are limited to 16 (I think) colors. That's it. I think most mIRCers make up for it by adding lots of colors to their text images. Agreed, she ought to go through the zipped files and add credits where she can. It's a lot of work. It ought to be done. So much of this is 'hobby' stuff. I know I should do things with my website. ie. eliminate the nbsp garbage, update my javascripts, etc... but finding the time and energy to do it is another story. Most of us have "real" lives too. </soapbox> -joan -- (______ <\-/> ______) /_.-=-.\| " |/.-=-._\ /_ \(o_o)/ _\ jgs /_ /\/ ^ \/\ _\ spu...@juno.com \/ | / \ | \/ /((( )))\ ASCII ART GALLERY: jgs __\ \___/ /__ http://www.ascii-art.com (((---' '---)))
