Thank you for stating that the ascii artist was unknown to you! This is
more than many posters to the "alt.ascii-art" USENET NewsGroup have the
courtesy to do!
And to all potential posters, the following bears repeating...
[ NOTE: Please, when you are reposting ASCII art, please do not strip off
either the name of the creating artist, or the title of the work!
Thank you. ]
P.S. The '--> [...]' arrow bracket format is a transformation of the
'--' signature tag and is not part of the original posting, but
is generated to add clarity to the mail address .signature (as
well as turning embedded signatures off).
