If you want your self-portrait to be added to the Gallery of Ascii Artists then a repost in alt.ascii.art of your article showing self-portraits of about five people including yourself will needed. ( Don't try to email a copy to me because it will bounce due to anti- spam measures I arranged last year when I was getting the more junkmail than anyone else at my ISP. I post too much and to too many newsgroups so my address had got everywhere.) llizard is now in the Gallery... ========================================================================== GALLERY of ASCII ARTISTS In no particular Order of Merit or Beauty 9 Feb 98 =========================================================================== ___ ,'" __`.,'"`. ,;,,'" _`Y'"`.\\ //// ,'"'`Y'"`.\YY ffffff' ' 'Y|| |||||l ,-- --.||| jjj|l` ,-. ,-.|ll ,-``` f | f ||-. l (| l_0, l_0,| j /'~~~~~~~\|/ Y | `. |f ,/' ____ `\ `-|, ) l' | ,,__/ '| \ ||f ,- `--' _ Y ,|_./___ ___ | | jjj `. ,`| |-( .)-(. )`|,' '''\ `-----' j (| ~~~ ~~~ |) |. ,' | `-' |' | `-._.,-' \ ,____, / ____ | l ____ \ `--' / ,'-+-->l -' Y<--+-`, |\______/| /+--+,' \`-.__,'| `.+--+\ |\________/| /-+--+`-, \.____,j ,'+--+-\ \----------/ f--+--+-< \ / >-+--+--Y Daniel C.
