That could be done, yes. I'm not sure I'd always remember to do it, though
:/  ... especially since I'd have to type the name in manually given that my
news server doesn't carry de. groups.

If people want as many people as possible to see their pics, they can
crosspost them. I'd leave it to the individual artist to decide whether they
wanted to do this. (and we'd have to compile a list of ASCII Art Newsgroups
and write a 'ASCIIArt Newsgroup Alliance FAQ' which was translated into
different languages, explaining what I've proposed.

I'm not sure if anyone wants to go to these lengths, but it does go some way
to ensure that people only see discussion in their native toungue.

Kind Regards,
