>Message-id: <199...@ng30.aol.com> >I have AOL and the turkey Dottidal did "looked just fine". But your turkey >looked like it had drank to much cooking sherry. Dottidal's turkey was in Arial font-- Not the accepted style of font for ASCII art. BTW, it was his/her the first post to this newsgroup== I'm sure that he/she didn't know about font type. Most AOLers are clueless about this... (I speak as an AOLer who has seen a lot of naive AOLers travel onto the internet-- It's a whole different world) -joan -- _.-;-._ (` \ | / `) ( '._\|/_.' ) joan stark ('-._/.-.\_.-') spu...@juno.com (._ |(o o)| _.)

>Message-id: <199...@ng155.aol.com> >I'm not the one that was so rude to Dottidal, in her first post it was you. >I had stated that her ASCII art looked fine to me. It looked fine to you.. and it looked fine to me- we are both on AOL. And AOL uses a proportional font for newsgroups... BUT for the rest of the people who viewed this pic-- and the majority-- since most people here are NOT aol'ers., the picture looked skewed... I did not mean to be rude. It is proper netiquette for people to lurk in newsgroups and to read the FAQ before posting... If Dottidal had done this, he/she would have found out that his/her artwork was in the incorrect font and that it should not have been posted. It is rude not to read the FAQ and follow expected guidelines of a newsgroup. Please think before you flame. -joan -- |_| _, _ _ ___ | |(_||_)|_)\_| .'=:-\ ___ | | ._| /.='( ` | |_ _ ,_ |/ , _ . .,_ _ /. ^=.'-._..---. | | |(_|| ||\/_)(_|||/|| |(_| | =^.'=.'^//"(_`\\)8, ._| ._| |^.'=' .=||/' `\||;8.-' \'.^,=^'.||; ; ||8/:_,_ give thanks...

the picture looked skewed... Oh, please
>Message-id: <199...@ng-fr1.aol.com> > > the picture looked skewed... They will look skewed to you on AOL. AOL does not use the proper font in the newsgroups... (and unless you have 4.0, the ASCII art will look skewed in email and chats too). ASCII art is created in a fixed- width font so that the majority of people can view it. Unfortunately for you, AOL is in the minority. View the ASCII Art FAQ and font info at the following URLs... I think you'll understand better.
