You know what I detest? People who post HTML to newsgroups. And I
have no
sneaking admiration for them at all.



What A complete ****** you are sir!!



You may be right, you may not, but BOTR *is* right.

usenet is supopsed to be a plaintext environment. And whatever you
are using to post with doesn't even quote properly ...probably made
by Microsoft.

Indeed...

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180

(Although to be honest looking in the headers wasn't necessary, it's
obvious right away)

There's no two things that frustrates me more when reading newsgroups
than coming across messages with top posting leaving you thinking "hey,
this reply is blank!" until you realise and scroll back to the top, and
secondly, HTML messages with screwed up formatting. As much as I'd like
to apply the same to e-mail, there's just no stopping some people...
