Now this seems too good to be true.  Not only am I practically offered
an excuse to delurk on a silver platter, but your post gave me just
the inspiration I needed to start doing ascii-art again, which is
definitely a form of recovery.  Thank you, and here's your picture:

There, I think I even got the proportions just about right given the
perspective.  I'll now let you get on with the scheduled programming.
Move on and mind the followups.
