ASCII art: American Standard Code for Information Interchange

¿My question is WHY?

I input a perfect Circle into the primary Post section.
(The Circle appears entirely circular)
I then sign in and hit the Preview button.
(The once perfect circle is warped)

Because variable width fonts are easier to read.  LUGNET is meant for sharing
textual information, not ASCII art.  If you want to share illustrations, post
them on Brickshelf.  I know I'm not the only one who finds huge ASCII
signatures somewhat annoying.
