Mine too. In fact any explanations about anything that isn't pure ASCII
don't belong there at all. How about just mention the name and link to a
page that does explain it? And if there is no page to link to then just
mention it and have something like "but that ISN'T ascii-art so won't be
dealt with here". The FAQ is already quite large. Any chance to shorten
it should be welcomed.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
