It may have been in response to an original ascii art but it was in
response to a trend of you posting non-original works.  You know that.
So don't be stupid.

I have never stated that all posts in this group be original.  I
stated that /if/ you are going to post OA then it should be original
because that is one of the main reasons that OA exists. 
If you find any place where I say that all art here should be original
then I will gladly eat my words.  I don't belive I have ever stated
such.  My comments were in regards to OA only.

> ObAscii is not yours to dictate, sir.

There are traditons on what OA is and should be.  And I have numerated
them previously.  I didn't lay down the rules.  I just infered them
from the traditons.

You are free to post what you like.  Personaly I would prefer you post
no OA if you arn't going to post something original.  Even if you were
to post an existing art and put a new comment (al a tran) as your OA
it would be better then just recycling.

You acted like a child in placing the bait on what should be a done
and over issue.

Show me where I have said that all work in this group has to be
original.   Go ahead.  I am waiting.  You will find all my posts at
deja.com.

I know the FAQ doesn't cover if OA should be original or not.  Maybe
it should.  But until you took offense to my critisizim it wasn't a
Frequently Asked Question.

OA:  abstract, was a failed attempt to make a small musical tool that
can mimic human crying.
