First of all, that turkey was in ARIAL font which doesn't look too great
for ASCII-art. You must use a fixed width font and paste it into your
newsreader to post to us. It will look wrong on your AOL reader because
you have it set to ARIAL font, but it will look right to the rest of the
ASCII world.

Here is my alteration of your turkey.

Dottidal, you would do well to read the FAQ. You can find it at:

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)

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.

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.
