Hmm...why do you think UUencode/UUdecode are used on the Net ?

Yes...about two years ago alt.ascii-art was flooded with " Please 
turn off the colour " postings.

That was what prompted his royal highness to post his WARNING notice

This newsgroup alt.ascii-art is totally free and unmoderated so 
anyone can post what ever they like...other users will react accordingly.

Thanks for the *plonk!* it means I won't get another flame from you
about my postings to alt.ascii-art.

If by chance you are still reading this...try *KERPLOOP*. It is the 
sound of someone hitting the bottom of their own killfile. 
Anyone want to do a picture ?  :-)
