*Smile* Hi! My name's Molly (NOT JOHN), and this is my very first
ascii-art. If it looks okay, please let me know! If you can't tell what
it is, it's a face of a bear.

Then you need to set up your news program so that you get your own name
to show up on your posts...

This is what the rest of us see:

You *did* read the FAQ, right?!!!

http://studserv.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/faq.html

I recommend that you study part 3, "Help! I can't tell what this picture
is supposed to be ..." and do some test posts to a newsgroup called
alt.test before posting here again.
