A correspondent made a plea, not an unreasonable one but one with which
I may not entirely agree, that messages be posted in text only and not
in HTML.
I, for one, find that with HTML one can be more expressive and
informative in conveying important information. I also believe that
those who limit themselves strictly to text are not able to benefit from
the richness that the web and discussion groups have to offer. My
analogy is the difference between color TV and black-and-white TV, or a
book devoid of illustrations v. a plain typewritten page.
Personally I don't understand the reluctance to embrace HTML. However,
I am prepared to be guided by the members of the list who may feel
strongly about this issue one way or the other. If you would like to
send your comments to me over the next 5 days, I will summarize and post
the results of this inquiry.
