 No, none at all. For I don't really know what you mean by "higher
ascii" characters. There is no such thing. ASCII describes the codes
that have codes from 00hex to 7Fhex. And for ascii-art you are only
allowed to use the printables of those, like in this chart:


    ASCII Character Table   The numbers show you the hex-code of
    =====================   the characters (e.g. the letter 'C' has
       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     the code 43).
   `.  0123456789ABCDEF
     `,----------------.    Only the characters that you can find
   2x | !"#$%&'()*+,-./|.   in this box are called ASCII, you
   3x |0123456789:;<=>?||   shouldn't use any other.
   4x |@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO||
   5x |PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_||   Also you should see this as a box.
   6x |`abcdefghijklmno||   If you don't then you have to change
   7x |pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ ||   to a fixed-width font (e.g. COURIER).
      `----------------'|
       `----------------'   Use only these characters and you will
                   [alf]    have more fun in news:alt.ascii-art

 You won't really find arts within this group that use other characters
(except the early works of new posters...). It's because there are
different encodings that have different characters in different places.

 HTH!

That's not what i meant. Many artist (in _any_ field of art) started out being
totally lame until he/she discovered what it's all about.

Just the way I did. Oh, well, maybe we actually should be more polite
to lamers.

"Her"? You mean Laurie? She was the one who replied "I hate lamers", so i think
you've just flamed the wrong person.

No, I wanted to flame the one that said "I hate lamers", because that
kind of idiotic comment discourages people from getting involved in
ascii art at all. Someone wanting "the url of an ascii alphabet" is not
a lamer.

Yes yes, I realize that, but when their not paying attention to what
they write, it's horrible. I can't understand, that when you write
something, why can't you write it well? 

This kind of conversation is very usual in finnish NG:s, and I guess
I'm just used to hear too many of these things.
