With all due respect, I believe that the problem is exactly the opposite: Many people simply post something from their collection, that's gone around the ASCII world thirty times already. I also believe that the author of the art in relation to the poster has nothing to do with the quality. In conclusion, may you blow out your brains with a semiautomatic shotgun. I'd offer you a more powerful weapon, but I'm afraid I have not studied guns! Ember. P.S. For those of you wondering, this is a sarcastic attempt at a respectful letter. I know I sound like an 8-year-old. -- +===========+================+====================================+ | SHADE AND |Ember the Ranger| Nightbringer Nightbringer Bring Me | |SWEET WATER|Vyrthana | A Knight/Twenty-Three Ticks With No| |~-~-~-~-~-~| Firesong| One To Fight/I'd Summon My Evil | |WIND TO THY| Talaranth | Twin Just For One Piece Of Bread | | WINGS |Fyrlen Brighteye|/But Before I could Eat It I'd Find | +===========+================+=====================\=Myself Dead/=+
