Veronica can reply to this-- but I feel as though I must put my couple of cents in. I don't think that Veronica meant to 'slam' the original poster. I've seen Veronica (and others) write encouraging words to new posters to the NG. I'm sure she was referring to the image itself-- and not a personal dig. > That first pic of Princess Di had a lot of work behind it...and didn't >deserve the response it got.

The first pic of Princess Di is obviously a scanned image-- one obtained from using software. It doesn't take much work to run a pic through a program. Usually when a converter is used, people must "clean up" the final image. This pic didn't look "cleaned-up". > I know that I decided NOT to post anything that I've done here. I >don't need the grief..as this is the 'expert' ng. I hope that you do post your work on the NG-- it isn't an *expert* group-- we were all newbies at one time... I think that you will find that it is a very encouraging and supportive group (as long as you talk about ASCII art)...
