Actually, your skull isn't strictly ascii either because you used a
proportional font (Times New Roman, I believe). Ascii, by definition,
uses a non proportional font.

Maybe you haven't read the FAQ. Here, let me quote from the new one:

:  FAQ: New to alt.ascii-art? Read me first!
[snip]
:  To view (and draw) ASCII art, you must use a fixed-width font -- one
:  where all characters are the same width (like on a typewriter). If
:  you're not sure if your font is fixed-width or not, check the
:  following two lines and see if they're the same length.

:           mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm|

I have altered your skull into a non proportional (or fixed width, if
you prefer) font. I tried to keep the same narrow flavour you seem to
want and have offered two versions for you from which to choose.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
