Oops... I forgot about other people.  Doh.

The advice does work on my computer, and most likely on Jessica's, but
you're right it's not a universal rule and I'm stupid.

(I even had the chart already, on my old web page, hoo boy, I'm in
trouble with me now..)

Also, i'm still wrong, as the [Tab] character on my keyboard should also
never be used in Ascii art.   Urg beh.  :;rolls over and dies;:
