Here is the complete conversation from "the chat" (hehe, there might be 
more than one chat you know... last I heard there were at least twelve...
but anyway, it was my chat he was talking about (see sig)):


[please note the times. The message quoted above was sent at 19:54 and
the last of his messages below was posted to the chat at 19:33 - i.e.
NOT "a couple of hours"]

above anyway) has disappeared from the buffer]

Hi, sorry, I had a phone call. But in answer to the earlier statement 
about me learning to do it. Believe me, in all honesty, I have tried.
I read the FAQ, and Ascii for beginners, and went as far as downloaded
a .dos ascii graphic builder and spend 6 hours on it. But art is not
my forte'. I asked the artist whom made this drawing to invert it and
she was more than happy to help. In fact, she is also working on another
ascii. :+) But, I don't want to push my luck, so am hoping you guys
can set it so these fairies face each other on the same lines, and sorry 
for the spam that follows.

These are the two pics, I have been working on for the past 3 hours, and 
cannot get them to face each other. *sigh* Any assistance?

OK, there are several methods:

1. Find out if there is a way to "cut out blocks" in some text editor
   in your computer. Learn how, and then do that. (that's why I want
   to know about what computer/OS you're using...).

2. Cut-and-paste each line. This is the simplest (but not the most
   efficient) method.

3. Copy the whole bloody thing by hand, one character at a time!
   (very inconvenient, but perfectly possible!)

4. (I made this one up now, don't know if it will work though)
   Think up some trick with html tables.

   <table><tr><td>
   first
   pic
   here
   </td><td>
   second
   pic
   here
   </td></tr></table>

   then load the html document in a browser and cut-and-paste from
   there... (like I said, I haven't actually tried this one).

Okay, *smile* Thanx for the aid, I'll try the html code you gave, I had
thought to do that, but was unfamiliar with the tags. *smile* thankya

[I just tried that html trick - didn't work]

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


I just wanted to make it clear that I did _not_ recommend that he use that
html idea. I did recommend that he try method number 2 - to cut-and-paste
each line... Surely _that_ can't have taken several hours!? A couple of
minutes, yes, a couple of hours, no! Even suggestion number 3 - copy each
character by hand - wouldn't take that long. Excuse me, but I think this
guy is just being  * L - A - Z - Y *  !
