I did only post my URL before, but now I always include art with them, except when the requests are for my really large collections.

But if it does, at least the site will still be there with it's huge collection. I will not remove it like Bob (Scarecrow) This site is meant to fill the space created when Scarecrow's went to HTML-heaven. Chris' ascii collection does that to some extent, but is not as large as mine. (Actually I was inspired by his site, and wanted my collection to be as big as his, and now it's more than twice as big.
