It's actually not a good clue at all, but I was bored.

The real problem I discovered is with Google news, on my ASCII diagram
from yesterday, in the thread "apparent image size." It looked fine on
my all-text reader (fixed width font), and it looks OK in the article
in which I requoted my own diagram. In the original post, however, the
Google archive has torn apart and redistributed the characters of my
ASCII diagram. It's done this a number of times in the past, and I
wonder if anyone knows why that happens.
