Not mean at all. That "picture" had lots of those non-standard
characters in it (well, you could see what it looked like on that screen
shot I presented). Such garbage is off-topic for this newsgroup. Stick
to the characters in this table:

I'm not entirely sure, but it looked more like chat-room color-enhanced
ascii art, with the color-code instructions built in.

What do they call that? ANSI? MIRC? something.. I'm out of it right now..
Xmas comes in, brain goes out.

Anyway I don't *think* it was meant to be true ASCII art.

i.e. it contained non-standard characters, which is exactly what I
