And if told who the artist is (on any of the ascii art I do have wifout
sigs) then I will put it back on. I am clearly with you there.

<chuckle> IMO, that *IS* something to crab about, and if I see it, I say
something. Thing is, I really don't see it that much (since I rarely stray
into chat anymore, and if I do, it's into a hosted room, where ascii art
of this size will quickly lead to account death if I run it). And I
understand that most of the readers of this newsgroup do not have, nor
desire AOL. I, unfortunately, being between ISPs, am forced to use AOL as
my ISP <shudder>. 

Just a sidenote, love yer ASCII art. I've got alot of yours in my
collection (WITH the sigs) =)
