This is a smiley face made by Caitlin Woodward, 9 and a half years old.
This is my first ASCII picture. I borrowed the circle from the pegasus
post.

I thought it was for everyone! Then you thought wrong! Usenet is an adult medium. Usenet newsgroups are for adults not children. I suggest you read or re-read all the introductory Usenet info postings and FAQs about Usenet which should be read by all Usenet newsgroup users before they post articles. The FAQs etc. get posted regularly to "news.answers"; "*.answers"; and "news.newsusers.questions". Many ISPs have these documents in their archives and advise new account holders to read them. The children who post here on alt.ascii-art have clearly not seen or understood these documents and are apparently have unsupervised access to the Net through home or school computers. > ___ > _/ | ,^%--- > |_____| __<_ \ Sheesh, Colin, what happened to the "free > --- == >/ and unmoderated" speech? > [_____] __>,^ > ejm| | //| | Nothing has happened to the freedom for anyone to use this or any other unmoderated newsgroup...that's why children are posting here. If they are being advised, educated in using newsgroups, and supervised in using the Net that's not so bad but it still does not negate the fact that Usenet and its newsgroups are an adult medium! Harumph! And...remember...it was Sarah Day herself who originated the "Public medium" thread and she asked people here NOT to swear and post nudes becsue little kids might be reading this group. I have no doubt that they are reading it! Bye,

OK...point taken...but part of my tone/manner-of-speech was quite deliberate to emphasize that Usenet newsgroups are adult newsgroups and the language and manner of speech is adult. I doubt whether a 9 year old could have any clue about "Usenet"; "hierarchies"; "netiquette" and all the rest of the jargon. Usenet is not here to cater for, and educate, children who apparently gain access to computers either at home and at school without supervision. Children clearly find the "alt.ascii-art" newsgroup...see pictures...and think " Ooooh funny pictures, I can do funny pictures " and jump in. In my view children using Usenet newsgroups should be supervised by someone because many newsgroups are just not suitable for children and those in charge of them are quick to attack Usenet and its adult users if their children get exposed to unsuitable material. Bottom line is that I think we should discourage children from using alt.ascii-art...it is not a children's newsgroup! i'm sure others will disagree with me but that is what Usenet and newsgroups are all about...individual opinions!

All Usenet newsgroups are adult. There is a special K12 newsgroup hierarchy for school children. If you don't know what a "newsgroup hierarchy" or "Usenet newsgroups" means ask your Mum or schoolteacher. And try reading and studying the Ascii Art FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions ) which is being posted to this newsgroup right now. The FAQ was really written for adults though, not children, so it may be hard to understand especially if you know little about Usenet and newsgroups. Bye,

Colin, next time, remember ur talking to a child. I resent your manner of speech. If I would read such a post about something I've created, I would b very hurt , and I'm 20.

So...it was Sarah Day, not me, who posted that "Public channel" message about not posting swearwords or nudes because little kids might be reading it...and she was not even referring to JPGs, GIFs and other pictures...she was referring to what was being posted here...including the swearwords and rudeness from Mepha. My viewpoint is different. I happen to think that children should be supervised if they are allowed Net access. I think that many are not. Also children simply cannot handle adult flamewars that they might quite unintentionally provoke with their postings. The Net is not a pretty place akin to Fairyland and those who survive need a rhinoceros' hide. The Net is not for the tender and sensitive. People who participate in Usenet newsgroups should be adult and my definition of adult would probably be: a person who is fully and solely responsible for their own actions and for the consequences of their actions. Children are usually not in that category. As I've said many times...anyone can post anything they choose to post on unmoderated newsgroups but there can be consequences that they then have to deal with. Freedom has its price in the consequences arising from its use.

I'm still wondering why the Kid posted his fixed version as a response to his own thread :-? As a 9 year old kid I would start a new thread.

I don't think people should use language that is too strong on newsgroups,
but might also add that stuff like that would only be accessible at home.
They have things on school computers to prohibit looking at anything that
would be considered too much for kids that age (even if we are talking about
pics of ancient greek statues that 7th graders need for a report, which I
think is overdoing it a little....never mind).Thank you for reading my
largely pointless message. :^)

Martin Atkins <zne...@ovtsbbg.pbz> wrote: >I`m a child then... I guess I`d better stop reading and contributing to the >group huh? I never said that. You asked me for my definition of a child. Age in years is not important but responsibility for one's own actions and their consequences is important irrespective of age in years. If you can handle Usenet's adult newsgroups then OK...but Sarah Day was telling people not to post nudes and foul language here because little kids might be watching. That particular thread she started, "This is a public channel" is what sparked all this discussion off. I think you were away from this newsgroup at the time. Sarah and Robin Day are very obviously children and so was a 9 year old who posted a picture here recently. > The net bill is �30 a quarter, and I pay the phone bills. My mum > pays the same regardless of how much I use the net each month, as my > time is unlimited. 30 GBP/quarter = 10 GBP/month = NZ$30/month = US$15/month. That is a very good deal if you have unlimited time. What about traffic costs for transfers/downloads etc. are they extra cost? I pay $2.75 to $4 per Mb for all traffic, both outgoing _and_ incoming, depending on the time of day. > Hehe..... My school are two cheap and nasty to get a net connection.

If it is so obvious that the two of us are children, would you like to guess just how young we are? This should prove amusing. Some people before have actually guessed I was 30. -Sarah Oh yeah, I guess I should add some ascii....it is supposed to be a dragon, in case you can't tell, which would be easy with this pic. /\. |`-^__ | \. / ,__o) \ \| | \ |' |=, |\ /| ===, | |__/ | \____/-|| || ''''''

I`m quite mature enough to see bad language and not go around using it, and I can see nudity and not go and (hey, what is this 'nudity' supposed to make you do?) Sorry for firing at you Colin, I was a little peaved with a certain character by the name of 'Bungle' when I wrote it and I was wrong to take that out on you. .--------------------------------- |> The net bill is �30 a quarter, and I pay the phone bills.

'--------------------------------- Once the quarterly subscription is paid, the only other thing that needs paying it the telephone bill. All uploads and downloads are no extra charge. If you like you can find out about my ISP at http://www.vossnet.co.uk/online/. My mum`s work have this transfer fee thing that you describe...
