This is an interesting question. There are many reasons someone would
ask for or want to see repeats of ascii art. One is that many sites
expire articles after some usually too small a period. I wouldn't be
surprised if the alt hierarchy and/or graphics related groups would be
the ones with the short expiration periods. How often would art be
replayed into the moderated group? Do you (the generic y'all) plan to
maintain an ftp site for the existing ascii-art and use the moderated
group to premier the new stuff?

BTW, I looked around for the RFD, but it has long since expired on this
site.
