Subject: Re: HTML posts - Please Don't!
I am a user of Unix text based email as well.  I however do not think 
that HTML should stay on the WEB site.  As much of a pain in the ass as 
it may be right now...I think it is probably the up and coming standard.  
My opinion is that we text-based dinosaurs just need to grin and bear 
it.  I would rather plug through HTML from someone who has knowledge to 
share that could improve my diving than have clean emails.  Now I am not 
saying that I like doing it, but I do realize it is MY problem and not 
the rest of the lists' problem so I have to deal with it.
