Hey August!

That is fine for 12 but for 16 (or more) it starts using far too many lines.  
For 16, two rows of 8 might be better such as;

-o   -o    o-   o-   o-  -o   -o    o-
 (\   (\  /)   /)   /)    (\   (\  /) 
 ^^   ^^  ^^   ^^   ^^    ^^   ^^  ^^ 
 o-  -o   -o    o-  -o    o-  -o   -o
/)    (\   (\  /)    (\  /)    (\   (\

For 24 the row length would be 12 instead of 8.

Personally I think it is fine as is, and to hell with quoting.  :::evil grin:::

Life is good,
Maurice
