Thankyou for the complimenting my FAQ by calling it the `stupid goddamn
FAQ', Sir/Madam Mepha. It appears that you may have missed the following
parts.

1.  `The following specialized artforms are not ASCII art in the `pure'
    sense, and are not welcome in the ASCII art discussion groups.

    *   ANSI, `extended ASCII', or `high ASCII' art. Many computer
        systems have an extended character set of 256 or more
        characters, based on the ANSI or Unicode character sets and
        having the first 128 characters identical to ASCII. These
        characters should not be used in ASCII art because many types
        of computer system do not support them, and even those that do
        may not display them in a standard way (for example, the
        Windows ANSI character set is different from the Macintosh ANSI
        character set).
    *   ...'

2.  `It doesn't matter if your ASCII art isn't particularly good; we'd
    like to see it anyway. We won't be rude about it (although you'd
    better tell us what it is, or we might ask :-), but if it shows
    potential, you may find that other people will `re-diddle' it --
    change a few characters, make it a bit better, and re-post it.'

Erhm, Veronica's not the only comp science major around here ... not
that that's relevant, of course. And if you're not going to follow basic
Usenet etiquette (ie posting in ASCII, not ANSI), then it's entirely to
be expected that your messages will not be shown correctly by some
programs.

Please try to be more polite in future.
