hi Tim

ok ... so i checked it out ... quite neat
reminds me of the old bbs-ansi style ascii

i looked at the pic you posted here first adjusted with
Harry Mason's perl script to get an idea of what it was

since it only works on www.google.com and you need to post to usenet
before it can be viewed perhaps it'd be an idea to post the original
to news:rec.arts.ascii complete with viewing instructions
eg:
    using a CSS enabled graphical web-browser
    do a search at http://www.google.com for
    ....<whatever the decryption key is>....
then
go to google and check it out making sure everything has worked ok
and post a link here in the format you used above ... complete with
the viewing instructions ... requesting us to go and take a look

the link format is useful because i can be lazy and saves me from
typing errors ... especially if i've had a few beers :)
