If you are familiar with cowsay on the cli, then you
know what this is, but for R. If not, read below. Why? Why not?
That’s right, it takes 17 people to make cowsay - it’s
that hard.

In the ascii art mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alt.ascii-art they say:
As for posting other people's ASCII art,
after a discussion in news:alt.ascii-art _ ___
the following rules were agreed upon: #_~`--'__ `===-,
1. If an ASCII ART picture has initials `.`. `#.,//
on it, leave them on when posting it ,_\_\ ## #\
2. If an ASCII ART picture doesn't have `__.__ `####\
initials on it, mention that you ~~\ ,###'~
didn't draw it when posting it. \##'
3. If somebody posts a picture without [nosig]
initials and you have an original copy
with initials on, feel free to re-post the original version.
* The re-post ought not to be taken personally, as we all
know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the re-post are not necessary.
One contributor, name of Krogg, suggested the following:
1.) Ultra polite:...ya make yer own ascii and use it.
2.) Very polite:...Ya contact the author and ask if ya
can use it...
3.) polite:...Ya use it but you keep the Credits
in there like they should be.
4.) rude:...Ya use it and strip credits.
5.) Very rude:...Ya use it and claim that it Is
_Your_ very own creation...So, let’s go with this rule: Let’s include found (on the web) ascii
art in this pkg, include signature if there, and if no signature, put in
a [nosig] (see above).
