Ok, it just read like you didn't *have* them, rather than you were simply
not recommending them :)

As for the rest, as I said its your choice how you personally format
documents, but I would ask for your evidence from a scientifically
significant blind trial when you make such sweeping use/like/not use/not
like claims :)

Personally I think the side by side headings look like s%^t and I have to
count the number of =# or whatever. Since I'm the one editing the document,
that matters. The user of the output product is of course unaffected.

Cheers
