This is a great newsgroup article search engine. They are still in the process of entering posts from the past, and the posts are permanently archived, not just for several months. I don't know how far back they will go to enter articles. It's free now, but there could be a charge in the future. Anyway, ..... the problem with the ascii art posts, is that if the poster DID NOT mention his art subject, such as DRAGON, you won't be able to find it with a subject search. You'll just have to look through all the articles, or perhaps all the articles within a set of dates. For ease of those who wish to research & retrieve posted ascii art, it would be thoughtful to type out a brief description within the body, or break it up and put the description in the title. greetings from houston, teresa
