Crab, blah, blah, blah

All this talk without actions about leaving initials on, etc is a rather
pathetic attempt at protecting intellectual property rights. I am
unequivocally in favor of leaving initials on, there should be no
misunderstanding about that, it is just the "not walking the talk" aspect
that I have observed sofar, that I find pretty pathetic. 

Of course, copyright notices, as I suggested, are also only as good as
one's willingness to follow through, not just when things are not going
well, but also when things are going well. For example, I am happy that
Hilton puts the copyright notices on his Next Generation productions, and
I have thanked him for that in public on this newsgroup.

Money is tangential to "leave initials on" and "copyright notice".

>All these threads regarding copyright-- calling for legal action --

>ASCII art 'text art plus' -- and arguing about hi-low tech and who's

All these putting words in my mouth are also making me feel nauseated ...
not, I have a stronger stomach!  :-)

I simply enhanced ASCII art just like coloring and blinking in html (some
people call that html art.) I did not say, that I am "making ASCII art
'text art plus' ", those words were put in my mouth, whatever they mean.

I simply responded to Veronica's statement that ascii should be viewable
with low tech, by saying that all contents of my website can be viewed
with low tech, whereas proclaimed ascii web sites need high tech to view
some of their contents. I did not say "who's website is better", again,
those words were put in my mouth.

>Does anyone see it from this viewpoint as well?

Yes, why not? A good place to start would be to avoid putting words in
people's mouth.

Finally, please note, that somebody else started to bitch at me, I merely
threw things back!
