Just to maybe get an alternative discussion going:
What do we reckon the best piece of ascii ever is?
There's been so much, but the one that sticks in my
mind is Row's famous eagle:

It withstands much reposting, and i really really really
wish that I could make something as good!

Anyone else think another piece is better than this?

Actually, Phils new tower ASCII seems to be the best to me. Then again I'm
fickle.

This is a perfect example of why I don't like to put one piece of art
above another.  It may give the artist concerned a big head ;-) or it may
cause bad feelings with other artists who slave long and hard over their
work and never get the credit they deserve because it wasn't a huge
ASCII that looks complicated and wasn't really.  There are some fantastic
small ASCII's around that really impress me.  A lot are on Joans site
incidentally :-)

Thanks for the compliment anyway.
