I'm sure that's not what you intended... are you using any non-ASCII >characters? Nope... 20 means " "(space) and 3D means "="(equal to) in hexadecimal notation. (Don't know what I'm talking about, but it's got to do with MIME and the wiggly way this guy's prog attached the ASCII pic to the post) I guess this is what the sword looked like on CaStRaLs machine: (O) /\ |\\ |\\ |\\\ =________ //|vvvvvvvvvvv|\\\\ --+--/ {{ (+)==(+)==(+)= / (dunno about this part...) \\|^^^^^^^^^^^|//// --+/ |// |/// =----' V |// (O) CaStRaL I like it, man! But... next time you post to usenet newsgroups, make sure: 1. your newsreader -- M$ Outlook Express -- is set to post messages as plain text, not as HTML (default = HTML!) 2. line wrapping will occur at 72 chars (change the default!) And when you post to Alt.ascii-art: 3. use a _*non-proportional* font_. (not default in M$ Outlook Express!) 4. don't use TABs and chars hidden under the Alt key. 5.a either doodle the pics in the message body or 5.b in a text editor --using a _non-proportional font-- and: 5.b.I copy and paste the pic to the message body, 5.b.II _instead of attaching it!

It's been happening repeatedly for weeks now! Clueless Newbies? Grrrr! ( And now somebody will scream about MY repost of all this garbage and so they damn-well should! !@#$$%^&*! HARUMPH! ) Bye,
Was my message in HTML? I am so sorry, I didn't realize!
