I couldn't agree more. It is reserved to ascii art, not to "art" and certainly not to "I_worked_three_days_on_this_piece_of_ascii_art_so that_makes_it_more_art_than_your_ten_minutes_ascii_thingie". A picture converted to ascii becomes ascii art and is perfectly On Topic in this newsgroup. If some people don't like them it's their problem. I happen to look at them carefuly, studying how characters interact with eachother, looking for what works and what doens't... but I don't break nobody's balls about it. So, once and for all: Let conversions be! Amen. / ) ( /( (\___/) )\ ( #) \ (==)| ( # ||___c\ > '__|| ||**** ),_/ **'| .__ |'* ___| |___*'| \_\ |' ( ~ ,)'| (( |' /(.
