WHAT are you babbling about? Here is what I (and probably most others
too) see:  http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/pics/rubbish/krogg.dum.gif

If you see anything else I suggest you change your settings again. Do
not expect all other people here to limit their images just to make them
look pretty in some program that is clearly not suited to view ascii
images (or copy that image to your editor and look at it there). The
picture looks fine! There are no non-standard characters, tabs or
anything else there that should cause any trouble.
