alt.fan.warlord might be a better choice :)
proportional fonts won't stop (clueless) people from making ascii
diagrams. one complaint of, urm, prodigy? is that some of its users
make .sig pictures in their software's proportional font, which are
completely unintelligible to non-prodigy users.
but there are spare chars in the charset, right? just grab a swath of
1024 or so and define them to be standard-size lines and connectors
for the purpose of block-character diagrams. the tinkertoy chars.
