It's my opinion, and I believe the opinion of
others in this group, that if you use the ASCII
art created by others, you should give them
credit.   If you alter the pic in a minor way,
(change a handful of characters), the signature
should not be changed...  if you change the
picture (add to), then add your initials to the
original signature for shared credit.
If you completely change a picture so that it
isn't even recognizable as the original (so as
to even 'fool' the original artist), then I think
it's permissible to use your own signature.
I'm talking 'major' changes here.

In your example, the face is clearly the same as
my Cheshire cat..  I don't mind you using it,
but don't claim it as your own.  I know in your
original postings, you've written "after jgs"--
that's fine...

I'm not trying to be petty.  I just believe that we
should have a set of guidelines that are adhered
to.
