Hey Erik- welcome back! This "12 Days" has travelled more than you or I ever will in our entire lifetimes! I have seen several copies with the credits cut (along with the borders and title)- but I have seen many copies forwarded with all the credits still intact- some still have my email address and website on them! Crediting the creator of ascii art is common courtesy among those who know. I remember first discovering ascii art and I don't think I saved the initials of the creators of lots of the first things I collected. It was a bother. (btw, that's the reason I put my initials on the left side of the pic- it's more of a hassle to remove them that way) Anyhow, with or without the credit... I am tickled and thrilled to see this piece spread all over the world. Even a neighbor sent it to me knowing that I liked ascii art- boy, was she floored when I told her that not only had I seen it- but I made it! :) So don't crack Erik- I'm not. -joan -- . * . : . * * '.@.' * * * /^\ * * * * / \ __, ,__) __, ,__) __, ,__) /1997 \ (--|__| _ ,_ ,_ (--|\ | _ (--\ | _ _ ,_ @@@@@@@@@ _| |(_||_)|_)(_| _| \|(/_(_|_) \|(/_(_|| / 6 6 \ ( | | ,_| ( (__| ( ^ ,) * \ __, /-._ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ * `._____.'\ `--.__ ~ascii art gallery~ * \\/ `/``"""'-. / ) / : spu...@juno.com * | /\ | .--. : * / /\1`\ \/ `.__.:.____.-. joan stark / / /`\9`\`/ .-"..____.-. \ jgs _.-' /_/ `\9`\ \-. \ * * * `=----' `\7`\--------'""`-. \ `" * * `-./ `"
