Which prompts the question . . . why is it still, or should it be? I
can understand, back in the days of BBS popularity, where it would be a
financial burden on the SYSOP to send packets of larger size than they
needed to be. But today, many years later, why the resistance to change,
when (at least in my opinion) HTML makes for a more pleasing page to
read. Certainly, web browers/sites are not plain text based, so why then
should messages be so? I'm playing devil's advocate here, but I'm still
curious about it.
Thanks!
