Hello,

I'd be honoured if one you arty ascii people could 'do me up'... I'm
looking for some ascii art that spells my name: 'Lee Reilly'. My
attempts thus far have been feeble. Thanks to anyone who can help.

 ... no, it's not really better than the one above - for this is not
ASCII! You are using tab-stops and the (at least to me it appears as)
pound sign (�). For that they MUST NOT be used in ASCII-art this can't
be called ascii at all. Sorry.

 Btw - should that really be the pound sign or does it look somewhere
else differently?

 So long!

Sorry, just speaking to you in your own language.

Obviously you're not clever enough to realize that my posting was made
only to make fun of your sad, ascii-orientated lives.

Sorry for your lack of humour.
Bye.

I guess the guy who left the sarcastic message has nothing better to do with his time than try
to put other people down.  If he's so "anti-ascii", why is he in this area anyway?  Maybe he
should go play in the toilet -- that seems more his speed!

I have not yet learned to do ASCII myself, and I really respect the talents of others, no
matter what their subject is.  I enjoy it ALL!

Unfortunately all you managed to prove is that you are a sad newsgroup troll
who needs to get a life. Preferably not an ascii-orientated one.

And incidentally, you used ASCII in your post.... does that make you sad
too? Oh, you meant ASCII *ART*... all becomes clear. Well, my life is
definately not ascii-oriented.

Kind Regards,
-Martin

Lack of humor? How can you accuse someone of lacking humor when it was
your post that was totally devoid of anything resembling humor? One
must first present content of a humorous nature prior to making any
sort of attack on an individual's apparent deficiency in the humor
department.

Just noticed this thread was going on and on, but only one useful reply

This is a really quick rendering, but I like the effect
and find myself using it often for ascii words...

If it doesn't show up right on your computer,
copy and paste it into notepad.
