This means an ascii in every post! (especially off-topic threads) Failure to comply can result in flaming! This implies that if you don't include an ascii in your post you deserve to get flamed! It is to be a new ascii-art which takes longer but allows time to collect your thoughts and gives bystanders something to look at. ==================================================================== The concept of ObAscii has been around since the creation of the usenet group news:alt.ascii-art and it's purpose is to provide some on-topic content to an otherwise off-topic posting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ObASCII: ______________________________________ |[x]________Message Reply___________[-]| | *Send* | Address | Check | Save | | Msg | Book | Spelling | Msg | |From:________________________________ | |To:__________________________________ | |Subject:_____________________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |______________________________________| a message reply window
