I'm here!
And I have an answere to your question too.  
It is . . . because we don't swear.   That s simple.

I haven't seen any young lurkers.

But I'm not here about that.

What I wanted to say is going to happen in the future of this letter.

GEORGE POPE, you're going to say to
CINDY HAGLUND, or I mean you cindy, I know you're here.
(I didn't think it would be hard to write to two people at once)

I think Cindy means an ansi picture, or graphic, that is written and saves 
like a text file, and can have text in it, but also includes ansi codes 
that turn into shapes and colours when viewed through an ansi viewer.

My thought is, that you need to open the file with an ansi viewer.
Phew, all that just to say that!  I'm a stickler for details.

I would think, if I were in your shoes Cindy, and I opened the text 
file,that I would find that it is a jumbled mess of strange characters?
No?
That same mess of characters would become the graphic it is supposed to be 
if you used an ansi file viewer.  The txt extention is simply generic.
On Milky Way here the intro screens on the dialup, have no extentions at 
all.
just a  .
If you want an ansi viewer you can get one here at Milky Way!  
Just Step Right This Way tap into the Milky Way FTP!
It's in the file library, inside a qwk mail reader zip file called
Wave Rider 1.31  
The program is inside the zip file. I think the zip file is called 
WR131.ZIP  or something like that. The program is a simple standalone 
executable file called ANSIVIEW.EXE, take it out or double click it in 
winzip, or other windows archive opener, then open your text file and it 
should look like the picture you know it was before.
 
And George,
I have the asci art you sent me.  I'm still going to make a poster of those 
chicks you sent me.  Perhaps I'll mail you a copy, or I could fax you one 
if you have a fax machine.  Technically.

And between the both of you,

I still have know idea what a "nyuk" is.

CC>GEORGE POPE
CC>CINDY HAGLUND

I don't know the details on Carbon Copy signatures. :(

Good day to you both,











Peace and Love,
