	I've never seen that ... are you replacing all the "<"s and ">"
by the respective identities? ( &lt; and &gt; ) 'cause if you're not the
browser will think that it is part of a tag and screw up things in the
most twisted way you can think of :))

	Merry Christmas

WHAT are you babbling about? Here is what I (and probably most others
too) see:  http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/pics/rubbish/krogg.dum.gif

If you see anything else I suggest you change your settings again. Do
not expect all other people here to limit their images just to make them
look pretty in some program that is clearly not suited to view ascii
images (or copy that image to your editor and look at it there). The
picture looks fine! There are no non-standard characters, tabs or
anything else there that should cause any trouble.

I wonder if anyone realises that having a ">" in your ascii art
that is leftmost non space will make that line do its ">" thing.

like:
     =-_+_+_+_+_+-=-+_+-=-
          |   |   |   |  |
          |   |   |.-'"\_|

        >\/<    \  / ----|<---this line will be ">"ed
       //<>\\    \/      |

 I dunno if this happens with other browsers but i see it all the time.
I changed my ">" setting to turn text purple as slant it was the
default.and every now and again i see a line of purple text going
through a pic.Its not a big deal but i was wondering if anyone avoids
using ">" first on a line for this.
