Well, it's ascii, but is it art?

My real address is alan @ netcom.ca 
(with a 'p' on 'alan' making it 'alanp',

AAAUUUUGGHHH! I knew AOL's browser was braindead, but this is truly
amazing. I'll swear I have no idea how or why someone's coded something
like that.

<H3> is a block-level element, and clean one at that. Unlike, say, <LI>,
it doesn't allow "mixed content", only text-level markup. Both the HTML
standard and common [insert expletive] sense tell you that there's _no
way_ a <H3> can contain _another_ <H3>!

Any browser - no matter how dumb - which recognises the tag should, when
receiving such invalid input, either discard it as an error or do the
sensible thing and automatically close the tag.

Even if this were an unknown tag, the browser should just ignore it. A
crash might be plausible if we were talking about some tag that can
actually be nested infinitely, such as <LI> or <BIG>, but this is just
plain and simple idiocy.

It has no effect on me -- this newsreader ignores html.

And this newsreader ( TIN )displays HTML as garbage...which I skip over 
and ignore ! 

It's impossible to stop people posting this coded stuff, warnings or 
no warnings, so it has to be ignored in some way...difficult and 
infuriating though if it makes your machine/system throw a wobbly and 
crash eh ?  :-(

The one good thing that I've found about AOL...
(also known as America Offline) is that it has a nice
software library. 
  And supposedly it wil be adding fxed-width fonts in
the next update (4.0)...
  and keeping along the lines of ASCII art--  so far,
I have discovered only two "ISP"s (and I use the
term loosely) that don't allow for viewing the ASCII
art properly-- they are AOL and WebTV.  Does anyone
know of any others?

I dunno.I use a generic local isp in my town with a windows
 connection.I downloaded netscape with the crappy windows browser and
installed it.bada bing,I got the best stuff fer internetting ya can get.
I think more isp's are going that way now.
              I really dont like webtv as a concept,I saw one ot thier
comercials,well it was more like a infomercial,and a dude was like"I
cant even program ma veeceeare but i cun send email to 1000 of my
friends in about 1 minute".Future spam king!!!Besides,why pay all that
for a webtv when you could have a full blown computer system.
