I agree with both sides.  Pete Casso is right that we should shut up
about this.  The other side is right about ASCII art.  ASCII art is as
it is said "ASCII".  Delimited text.  No bold, italic, underline, etc. 
Text Art Plus is Text Art, not ASCII art.  ASCII is using only readable
ASCII base characters (not extended).  That is the TECHNICAL definition
of ASCII.  Delimited text.

Now everyone be quiet about it!!
