Boo, hiss, it shouldn't do that...

I'll try to keep an eye out for it then.

Well, compared to viewing HTML as plain text, yes, but otherwise --
it's not at all rare in groups where that kind of thing goes on. 
Before yEnc came out (and made gather them all unfeasible) my server
had a virtual group for articles where FF was used, and 50-100 articles
a day was pretty normal -- a quick check in rec.arts.sf.written shows 4
articles for the past 24 hours (which was a bit over 1%).

Of course that doesn't change your schedule...but if you *do* get a bit
of spare time, it'd be nice if you could see what you can do.
