Deja News appears to be fixed

Deja News appears to be fixed

I wrote a letter to DejaNews about the use of proportional fonts in the
archives. I got an autoresponse back shortly afterwards thanking me for
my suggestion. I figured that it was a lost cause.

However, I just did a power search using the following URL
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/home_ps.shtml

I'm happy to report that alt.ascii-art posts are back in a fixed width
font.
