You seem to call any pictures made of characters 'ascii art'; on this newsgroup, 'ascii' is ONLY used to mean plain-vanilla 128 bit ASCII text. This is clearly nothing to start a flamewar about. But if you use a word in a different sense than pretty much everyone else on the newsgroup, you will create confusion. -- <(oO)> Cthulhu () ASCII ribbon campaign \ \/ \/\/\ \/ \/\/ /||\ Fhtagn! /\ against HTML mail /\/\./\/\/\/\./\/\
