Actually Jorn, I don't think this group existed in 1993. You're probably
thinking of rec.arts.ascii. But you're posting in the right place, since
rec.arts.ascii is kinda dead.

Can't help you personally, since I was only vaguely aware of the
existence of the Internet in 1993. :-)

All right, Jonny me boy, that's enough! Jorn Barger is the grand old
duke of ASCII art -- he was here before you learnt to talk, and he wrote
the ASCII art FAQ which preceded mine. AND he's a minor Net-legend.

So play nice and stop making fun of him, y'hear? And give him back those
false teeth RIGHT NOW!
