Nowadays this must be the most Frequently Answered Question in this 
newsgroup.  


Perhaps we need a specific Mini-FAQ on it ?

It demonstrates the well known fact that people simply do not read

Here is My Very Own Cat...

   Done in " Times New Roman " proportional font using Word for Windows:


                   |\_/|      
        _____ / - - \
     /~____  \ ="= /   -cfbd-
    (______)___w)w)
       
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii



   Done in Notepad which is a non-proportional font:


            |\_/| 
      _____/ - - \
    /~____ \ ="= /   -cfbd-
   (______)___w)w)
