Huh?  is there another 'spunk' in this newsgroup??
When did I do this??????

I added initials back onto some of the pics-- just as I've done
for others (Shanaka's, Row's, etc.)  What's the big deal?

Read the words- not between the words.  I made no insinuations.
.... and please quit adding "stein" onto the references to me.  If you
must refer to me, you can use my real name or my email name.
I never adjusted your name in the past except for using your initials...
You may do the same.

Stop making accusations.  Continually doing so makes one lose integrity.
I don't throw things at people.  Reading egotistical things makes my
stomach crawl.  Can you explain this Text Art Plus-
what makes it better than ASCII art?
