I find myself doing it by habit once in a while and now I always notice others do it. My biggest problem is making sure to spell check everything. I spell very badly and so I frequently get the lines to match up but then I spell check it and have to start over. It is a real pain in the ass. http://asciipr0n.com/fp/ascii/unpr0n/text.art.block.html has my longest example to date. I don't know if I will ever try to do one longer than it, but I keep it around just so I can use it as an example for others.
