Because I like Xnews.  I like it's filtering options.  I like it's 
interface.  This is what your posts look like to me (and any other plain 
texters out there):

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>

You honestly expect me to read that?  You expect anyone who doesn't use

change this to HTML and pictures.
