Dear All reader,
I can only see the message before ten days in this news group. Is
that my system have some error or this newsgroup just have ten days
message? In many newsgroup, it have at least one month message. In this
newsgroup, many people want to get ascii art. So if it obtain more
message, the user will have more obtain. And will not require same
ascii-art in a short time.

As far as I can tell, most of the fine folks here are quite willing to send up some art for you. Just tell them what you'd like to see. Pick something. I've seen some stunning dolphins, dragons and an eagle go by recently. How about Totoro? If you're from Hong Kong, Totoro should be a popular cartoon character there. I'd be ecstatic if I could get my paws on a Totoro image!!! Will do one myself soon if no one else does! ML

Most newsgroups at my site don't have articles more than about 3-4 days old, simple because we don't have the disk space to store them. -- ##### |\^/| Colin R.
