Ron:
I know they can read the darned things without problems. I just
don't understand why they send the darned things. It just doesn't
make sense to me. Why do they think anybody would want to read
the darned things anyway, with or without problems? If you tell
me once in ascii, you don't need to tell me the same darned thing
again in HTML. Why do people feel the need to repeat themselves?
People who go around needlessly repeating themselves all the time
have a problem. If they are saying something in a different way
for the purpose of further clarifying what they had previously
said, or if they are just re-iterating for the purpose of
emphasizing the importance and the need for attention to something
they had said before, then that is OK.
