I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to disrespect your work.
What I was trying to say is that ASCII graphics look old-
fashioned in general.  I wasn't actually picking on your
rendition of the text logo in particular.

Yeah, I noticed your smiley, but I agree that my wording
on the wiki page was misleading, so I changed it.

Absolutely.  Text is also required for machines that aren't
supported by the graphics code, or machines that don't have
any graphics hardware at all.

Don't worry, I'm not going to rip your ASCII logo out.  :-)
