I've been listing ascii art sites at a web directory for over a year
now, as you know from posts I've made with the URL. :)  All that time
the ASCII Art category has been listed under the main header of Arts.
Now other people working in the directory think it should be moved. So
I need ideas about where it should be listed. 

Some suggestions are: Illustration, Digital Arts and Visual
Arts/Media. None of these are really good choices.  Have a look and
see if you come up with something better.

ASCII Art is now listed at: http://dmoz.org/Arts/ASCII/

Hope to hear back from a few of you. Keep in mind that ascii art is
not just for computers or the Net. It started on typewriters. Also,
its not just used in email or newsgroups. 

Seasons Greetings,

Laura
