1. If you ask about who posted it, I can say: I did.
2. If you think that picture was great, I think so too.
3. If you think it takes great time and effort to make such a thing, you are 
wrong.  It took me less than 5 minutes to do it. Now you might ask how.
Here is the procedure I followed:
a. From the WWW, do a yahoo search about "unabomber".
b. Find a GIF of the picture, and save it on your hard drive.
c. Convert it to ascii using gifa.exe .
d. Since I wasn't interested in the ascii myself, I did not do any retouches; 
those retouches could have made it even better.
That's all I can say about the picture.

Notes:
 I.  That was my first attempt ever to do an ascii.
II.  I hope I did not violate any copyright.
