Ignoring the emotional BS for the moment. I think that you emphasize the
wrong thing, you emphasize the technicalities of the ascii standard (which
is a tool) rather than artistic content (which is the essence.)

I wonder why you do not object to html art and javascript on this ng,
those are also enhancements of ascii art beyond the scope of the ascii
standard. Hint: If the joke/cartoon is on you, then chances are, you won't
find it funny.

I sometimes reply with a little pic because it says more than a thousand
words. That's a lot easier for me, I do only easy things, you see?

If the reply to this article is 100% emotional BS, I will ignore that.
