This PC guy is so unbelievably boring that at this point i had to
look up the 'How to killfile someone' section in the manual of my
newsreader (for the first time). Aww God, no 'steins, no cry! What a
happy day!

     My only wish for this year is that AOL version 4.0 will have that feature
added for the newsgroups.

Mr. P. 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:
