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,
