Look, I didn't kthis. I simply attached it  afile from my files.
Having NO idea that it was encoded. I don't encode my postings.
It was just this particulary file. It's even like that on my
site. Oh dear...

Well anyway, not my fault...
Cherio,
Erik

I've attached a great ascii picture of me, done by the best:
Joan Stark!
(Is it encoded?)

Hi Erik... let me know if you get these.  Is this really your new email address?  These archives are from Lorraine- I categorized this last group
for you.... you may want to do the same for the first.  Lorraine is
cleaning out her ascii art files... what better place to keep them than at your site?

BTW, you ought to eliminate you word "small" collection from the first
couple of paragraphs of your main Wicked ASCII Art page!

And finally- how about this for an ascii representation of you?  ;)
