I dream of a time when TeX notation will be acceptable and universal in contexts like this.y=(1/N) \sum_{i=0}^N x_i doesn't stay ugly for very long, and is ultimately easier to read. And you can paste it into here: http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php and then it's actually even MORE readable than anything rendered in ASCII... and it's completely precise. Dave.
someone should make a smart email/usenet client that recognizes TeX and renders it. my Thunderbird is soooo smart that it boldens text that is delimited by asterisks. like *this*. there would be nothing wrong with requiring <tex> and </tex> delimiters.
i agree with the sentiment, Dave. but i still find \sum_{i=0}^N to be difficult to render in my brain.
