I know my ASCII arts are the worst compared to other ASCII artists.
Also, I wish to stress that I have ALWAYS change the name of the original
artists'  to that of my own. That is, "jgs".

I seek the forgiveness of all the ASCII artists  whom I have 
infringed their copyright.

It looks as though someone is pretending to be
me!  Not very convincingly, I might add.  Juno
does not have USENET access!-- and it appears
that this message originated in Singapore.  Ohio
and Singapore are not even close to each other!
hahahahaha
Merry Christmas-  you have been reported to
your ISP!  hahaha

Once again, this has been forged by someone in Singapore.
I'm sure that those who are USENET savvy will know this.

And of course, I would NEVER put my initials on something
that I did not make-- but you all know that too!

Once more, untruths!
Buddy, I don't know what your problem is-
but you HAVE been reported.
Forgery of screen names is a serious offense
here in the US- I'm sure it is in Singapore too.

	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.

Ooh, yeah.  This is very convincing.  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.

Or, alternately, don't imp at all.  It saves on court costs :)

I don't think you have to worry.
Anyone with an ounce of sense could tell this is a fake.

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.

Shouldn't you have a big
 ___,
(-|_)
 _| \_,
(
after your name? (thanks to the real jgs for the "R" in "joan9- capital
curves" font)

Here is a small camel (and depending on its point of view, it *might* be
facing right):

        ~)
        (_/^\
         /|~|\
ejm 97  / / / |

But, I have reversed it for you:

             (~
          /^\_)
ejm 97   /|~|\
        | \ \ \

Here is a caravan of them headed in the opposite direction:

      ~)
      .(_/^\           ~)       ~)        ~)
       ./|~|\   ~)    .'(_/^\'..'(_/^\'..'(_/^\. ~) 
       /'/'/'|''(_/^\'   /|~|\    /|~|\    /|~|\''(_/^\
                 /|~|\  / / / |  / / / |  / / / |  /|~|\
ejm97           / / / |                           / / / |



And in keeping with the season, here are three wisemen and their camels:

  | 
_.|,_
 '|`
  |   
                 m   ~)
                 o    (_/^\                  v ~)
               *-|\    /|~|\    w  ~)        o  (_/^\
                 |_\  / / / |   o  (_/^\   x-|\  /|~|\
                              @-|\  /|~|\    |_\/ / / |
ejm97                           |_\/ / / |

What do you mean? Wouldn't it be just wonderful if we all called
ourselves "spunk1111"? Then we'd all be fantastic ascii artists, right?
But... I already am one (yes! I am the best! and I am very modest
too!!!), even when I don't use other people's names... and that impostor
isn't one even though he does... hmmm... maybe I should just stick to
calling myself "Veronica" in the future too...  8-]

it is not that easy if you 'sign' messages.
a very easy thing to do and you can be sure that it's from the person
who send it. Don't over heat.

                     add this message to your signature.
