   Yes Virginia, I mean Jeff, there is a FAQ.  Have that Visa or 
MasterCard ready and call toll free 1-800-NET-SPAM for your copy. :^)

   The FAQ comes in three versions:

   There's a short (ha ha, 50 K ) text version which is posted every 
Monday to this group and eight others.  There is a longer (over 100 K) 
text version with illustrations, examples, and more text than the 'short' 
version.  There is also a Web version, which will basically explain, 
show, and link you to most everything in the ASCII art world. 

>Thanks for your insight. ;)

   Make check payable to the Ameritech. :^)

   The FAQ is posted once per week, to this and 8 other groups.  It is 
also available by FTP, Gopher, WWW, email, finger, etc.
