Casso has posted a series of deliberate distortions and misrpresentatons of the text and title of "The Ascii Art FAQ Ten Commandments FAQ" to this newsgroup alt.ascii-art. Mr. Casso has also miscredited the original author Joris Bellenger (b'ger) and replaced Mr. Bellenger's name with my initals "cfbd". To reduce any confusion, especially in new or inexperienced readers of alt.ascii-art newsgroup, about these deliberate FAQ distortions by Mr. Casso the correct version and title of the FAQ is given below: ============================================================================ -------The ASCII ART FAQ Ten Commandments.--------- \\\\`/// / _ _| 1/ Thou shalt read the FAQ.
