OUCH!  :(


Looking closer at the page I find some of the worst html I have ever
seen:


<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
.-#-----.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /|\&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .---'-'---.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
.-#-----.</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ___ /_________\&nbsp;&nbsp;
//|\\&nbsp;&nbsp; /___________\&nbsp; /_________\</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /___\ |[] _ []|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
//|\\&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | A /^\ A |&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |[] _ []| _.O,_</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">....|"#"|.|&nbsp; |*|&nbsp; |...///|\\\...|&nbsp;&nbsp;
|"|&nbsp;&nbsp; |....|&nbsp; |*|&nbsp; |..(^).... ldb</font>
<br>&nbsp;


You can present ascii art in html documents, but *that* is not a good
method!  :(

How to do it properly?

1. Do NOT use "Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I) [Netscape]" (or any other
   automatic code generator).

   * Why? 
       Because they are unable to _guess_ what it is you _really_ want 
       to do.
   * What do do instead?
       Use a plain-text editor (e.g. "Notepad").

2. Read this page:
