Hmm. Remember, ages ago, when my ascii gallery and original copy of the FAQ got
munged up... The problem there was erronous and extraneous HTML tags placed by
my (now nuked) web editor, WebExpress.

I think theres some extraneous </FONT> tags there.

Advice: Never use Microvision WebExpress... ever... ok?
You can still see little remnants of it all over Bungle & Mart`s Weird,
Wonderful World....... I`ll clean it all up one day.
