What newsgroups are those then?   Please list them.  

It is very relevant. 

Most people are not against HTML if used in the correct places, 
largely on the Web and Websites. 

Usenet newsgroups, unless specially designated otherwise, are 
expected to contain only the Ascii characters you can type on your 
keyboard in the form of words and messages. 

Ascii Art specifically uses those same keyboard characters to form 
pictures instead of words and this is explained in the FAQ.

This newsgroup "alt.ascii-art" is totally free and unmoderated and 
therefore anyone can post whatever they like here, including HTML, 
ANSI etc. but the consequences of using that freedom can be that 
some newsgroup readers will object to postings they don't like and 
then flamewars often erupt.
