Just a little technical question...

I too have miraculously multiplied my own - wild guess - 394 bytes of
Ascii-art lately by adding color with html. :)
I assume you color the background with <BGCOLOR>, and the characters
by the use of <FONT COLOR>. What do you mean with _'bottom up'
coloration_ in HTML?

Thanks for explaining. A few weeks back someone else made the same
request and was flooded with all kinds of religious symbols. I
wondered what was going on then...
