The problem is that he x-posts to alt.binaries.ascii-pictures...
This group is regarded as a binary newsgroup and so the posting is
regarded as a binary posting... (At least I think so). As
news.cis.dfn.de aka news.fu-berlin.de does not allow binary postings
(except HTML and VCard) in non binary groups, this posting does not
reach this news server. And "unfortunately" the server does not have
alt.binaries groups, so you can't see it. The server of my university
has the posting, but it keeps alt.* for only one day. :-(

HTH,
