The cause of confusion is simple: You attach a different meaning to
the word 'ascii' than do the people in this newsgroup. You seem to
call any pictures made of characters 'ascii art'; on this newsgroup,
'ascii' is ONLY used to mean plain-vanilla 128 bit ASCII text.

This is clearly nothing to start a flamewar about. But if you use
a word in a different sense than pretty much everyone else on the
newsgroup, you will create confusion.
