Okay, here's the deal, Bssgrl. Only AOL insists that you use ARIAL font.
Ascii-art uses the COURIER, MONACO or any other non proportional font.
So you have to do your drawings somewhere else, using a non-proportional
font and then transfer them to your newsreader. They'll look bad but
we'll be able to see them.

You can't use tabs; you should make sure that your lines don't exceed 70
characters; you should also make sure there are no spaces at the ends of
your lines.

Here is your lighthouse in COURIER (as close as I could get it to your
original.) I'd really like to see what *you* can do in a COURIER or
MONACO.

Bssgrl! THIS is what your lighthouse looks like to the rest of the
world:

You MUST use a monospaced font!
