I wish to seek the forgiveness of all of you out there whom I have altered the names to include that of my own (ie. "jgs") when I used your ASCII arts.

A serious offense?! No, it's not -- at least not in the legal sense of the word. Do you really think that anyone couldn't see that it was a forgery? Sheesh, just ignore it.

You tried nine times to get it right, forgot to capitalize the handle, _and_ posted obviously false information :) Next time, change the ISP ID, Double chech the identifying characteristics, and post something believable.

Y'know... Maybe this goes to show that I'm not all that bright; But untill
people starting responding to the Joan-Clone, I thought they were saying
that they had removed intials, SUCH AS "jgs" so they could put on their
own. Oh well... Mmmmm... Soylent Green.
