A binaries group dedicated to schematics should be something really
special - I don't think it ever fully lived up to that, but in the
past few years its been dragged down into the sludge.

And when you started a political thing it wasn't a bad thing. I like
them for the view into UK politics. It doesn't matter if I agree.

It was never very convenient to make gifs of schematics. Most people
don't seem to have CAD readily at hand.

There are a number of free/cheap schematic drawing programs: Eagle and
Express PCB for example.
Nothing wrong with ASCII art.

In email and on Usenet, ASCII art usually requires mucking about with fonts
and spacing.

I'm on the lookout for a very simple (possibly portable) schematic app with
output files most others can open, doesn't need comprehensive libraries, I
can give a description and component list in the text.
