I think most of the people here would agree that in this group, called
alt.ascii-art

* Discussions about ascii art is on-topic
* Discussions about html as it applies to the presentation of ascii art
  is on-topic
* Discussions about authoring html for the world wide web, without any
  specific connection to ascii art, is off-topic

In another group, called comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html

* Discussions about ascii art is off-topic
* Discussions about html as it applies to the presentation of ascii art
  is on-topic
* Discussions about authoring html for the world wide web, without any
  specific connection to ascii art, is on-topic

Which part of the above do you have trouble understanding?

That is not the part that I was calling off-topic. The part I was calling
off-topic was the one post where you wrote:

I see *no* connection to ascii art in it.
