It is not off-topic in this group to discuss the implementation of ASCII art
in various media.  HTML included.

And it doesn't signify that this isn't an "HTML group" because we here have
more expertise at using it *in this way*--for example,
alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb is more on-topic to writing an aanvvvish
novel than some rec.arts.writing, and more on-topic to discussing aanvvv
chat (even though this isn't IRC.. it is Usenet and its newsgroups) than
alt.mirc, even if an aanvvv chat breaks the rules of aanvvvism for
convenience or innovation.
(I use that example only because I've seen it before.)

[Now, I forget my point.  Ack.]

"Use" of html.. not 'discussion' of HTML.   totally different concept.  I'm
totally against posting in html, even if this newsreader screws up and does
it by accident sometimes. <arg.> (oops, I mean [arg.], can't have HTML here
can I now? <g> i mean [g]).
