Looks like a lots been happening since I was last here.  Now I can use
my pen pad to make ascii art!  Drawing my cartoons would have been a
lot easier with THAT neat little thingie!

That would be like considering it cheating to use digital painting tools 
to create digital art, wouldn't it? It's a great help especially for me, 
in comic-making. It makes rearranging stuff so much easier!

(And Markus hangs out around here too, soooo...)

Well, I could've put "Text" there instead of "Notepad", but that would 
have messed with my groooooove. And this has a much better ring to it.

I only consider it cheating if your using the image converter...so I give
JavE credit for half the work.

A 'pro' invented JavE?? - No way :-)

I invented JavE because I was (and still am) _not_ able to draw even 
simpliest Ascii art. The first versions were terrible. It were the 
_real_ pros in this newsgroup who teached me about ascii art techniques 
and who helped me creating a working piece of software. Thanks again to 
all of you.

THAT MUST BE WHY EVERYONE HATES IT SO MUCH! Or maybe it's just the way I
use it :D

From: Brian Trosko <btr...@panix.com>
your enormous ASCII dribblings are tedious and annoying.

From: .hoy. <fak...@email.invalid>
the ASCII skeleton should equate to "Do not scroll down. Do not read. Do
not pass Go."

From: xxx...@hotmail.com (XXX)
WHAT THE FUCK is up with those pictures????

From: Dennis the Menice <den...@qwest.net>
Your ASCII drawings may have been "cute" 15 years ago on BBS', but
they're a total waste of bandwidth here and now.

From: "Lil Jon" <nos...@niet.ru^ht;
His drawing is irritating

From: "Andy, just Andy" <fak...@ddre.ss>
I would just like to add to this huge thread and while I'm here, say
that your ASCII art looks crap in my opinion and also makes whatever you
have to say get lost amongst it's crapness.
	
From: Lincoln Bauman <lin...@crenlo.com>
I sure as hell won't scroll through that crap to see what he wrote.

From: "Nitz Walsh" <sdd...@dsad.com>
What the fuck is with you and these ridiculous ascii sigs?

From: Paul Angstrom <ang...@go.away.spammers.invalid>
Sheesh! Get rid of that *stupid-looking* ASCSII skeleton you append to
the top of every post!
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in all my years of
reading Usenet. A reader has to scroll through all that garbage just to
see the 2 lines of text in your reply.

From: Walter Mitty <nos...@nospam.co.uk>
Jesus man, get rid of that fucking skeleton will you.

This one totally sums up my posting philosophy:
From: Xocyll <Xoc...@kingston.net>
>FWIW, I liked the little ASCII axe guy you used to have.
Others didn't - but it was pretty minor compared to his current ascii
abuse.

And this one's just for fun haha:
From: "Rozz" <bun...@btopenworld.com>
You disgust me. I would say exactly what I think of you, but I like to
maintain a little dignity and self-respect. What I will say is that it's
people like you who prevent young people, particularly girls, who are
either abused or raped, from coming forward.
