Wow - I see the light now !!

All the time I've been creating, posting, and admiring ASCII pictures, I
COULD have spent TELLING PEOPLE THEY HAVE NO LIFE!!!
</sarcasm>

For [insert name of preferred deity]'s sake, it's a hobby; at least we're
not selling guns and crack on street corners or something.  We enjoy doing
it.  Other people enjoy looking at it.  If you don't fit into this category,
then kindly piss off.

Furthermore, I do have social relationships.  I am married, with one
step-son.  I work in a busy callcentre providing IT support to an
international network and IT solutions provider (BT Global Services).  From
working here, I have met and frequently socially interact with a number of
friends of all ages and from all walks of life.  I play drums in a big band
jazz group, practising every Tuesday night.

Just because I spend a bit of time doing something I LIKE doing but which
you obviously think is below your standards, doesn't mean to say that I'm
socially derelict/stupid/boring/illiterate/[insert preferred insult here].

Like I said - if you don't like it, then piss off.
