rec.arts.ascii was a moderated newsgroup. I guess the moderators got
a little too busy to keep it going. I think Joan or Colin knows the
full story. I only managed a few posts before it fizzled last year.

While we are taking a trip back in time, these are the first ascii-art
I ever posted (which happened to be in rec.arts.ascii) :


     _    _
    /=\""/=\
   (=(0_0 |=)__
    \_\ _/_/   )
     /_/   _  /\
snd |/ |\_||_|
  


      \/
     /^ ^\
     \0 0/
     ('V')
      \ /
snd  /(_)\
   ==/\=/\==

                           _   _
                          ( )_( )
                           (0 0)
                           _(o)_  O
                          /\|_|/\/
                          \( _ )
                       snd  ||||
                           (_)(_)

and my first post to alt.ascii-art
