... I was sort of under the impression that if you used someone elses Ascii
creation... you should at least ask their permission if you decided that you
were to good to credit them.  I mean this wouldn't bother me so much... except
that you stole the shroom off of my .sig.  Even after replying to you by email,
you still ignored me.  So, I am forced to be an ass about it.
	Is it really so difficult to ask to use someones work?  I have already
given permission for a few people to use some of my stuff in MUD title screens
and .sigs... but then again, they were decent enough to ask and to answer my
email.
	Oh, well...
