To Sarah and Tony Day, Cyd and Nosmo:

You unfortunately caught last posts in longer discussion :)
The graphics you see is the "Face 1" which i posted few weeks ago and 
is not the topic of this thread. 

Story so far:

Few days ago, when the "Flamenco Dancer" thread has appeared after a 
long time silent, i've created and posted an *experimental* graphic. The 
graphic was *mono ascii* i.e. it was visible only when the background 
(of your chars) is darker than foreground. (The white characters on the 
black background, for example). The question was: Is the effect 
visible/clear on your screen ? It is important question because there are 
many various terminals and systems with various font glypths which gives 
the various gray rate when glyphs are concatenated.  

The first receptions has gave the result:

                          visible   |   not visible
                          ----------+---------------
                              1     |       2

After results was first time summed up, llizard send a post
with important (for me) technical suggestions (i asked for). His post 
changed the current results (personal opinion) to this:

                          visible   |   not visible
                          ----------+---------------
                             1.5     |      2.5

The graphic is below. Please, send your impression about this one.
