Well, just hang around, try to ignore the trolling and flaming that's
going on and look out for the pics!-)
No-one can tell you what's the driving force in ascii-art, you've got
to find out for yourself. If you don't see anythong special, then that
can't helped.. What's good for one may not be good for all..
I myself started reading for the first time in 1995, and was
fascinated especially by the gifs of people and objects; how can
someone make pictures with letters? I had done some line-logos on the
Amiga for some BBSs, but that was nowhere near to what I discovered
here.
I tried to do some myself, but sadly, I don't have enough artistic
capabilities to draw anything on any media.. I'll just stick to
lurking and enjoying the amazing things that people share with us in
this great NG.. Keep it up!
The flamewar kind of takes away some of the feeling, but I guess it's
impossible to prevent in the usenet.. Sometimes it almost gets
enjoyable, when ppl have something witty to retaliate with.
Ok, back to lurk mode.. Once again; keep it up!
