The ascii doesnt even look right in windows... or the HTML editor I use. Specifically one of them is this.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX P~ ~\XXXXD~ ~GX XXXX P~ ~\XXX X P~ ~\XXXXX ~ ___ \XX dh Xxx xxXXXX ___ XX X ___ XXX dh dXXXh X! |XX! |XX XXXXXX dXXXh X X dXXXh X! XX XXXXX X! |XX! |XX XX~~~X XXXXX X X XXXXX X! XX XXXXX XX VD XXX @f X XXXXX X X XXXXX XX VD XXXXX XXb_ _dXXXh_ _dX XXXXX X X XXXXX XXh_ , XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!~~~VXP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` it comes out odd.. as if the spaces didnt work.. liks this d> -- sig out of order
