Hmmm. I usually try to present myself in a way that will not be frowned upon by others. I don't simply present myself any way I wish to. I have to consider what will make my audience uncomfortable and avoid those things if I can. I'm sure you do the same thing and I think this is what Marck is referring to.

The recipient should have the power to choose a font that he prefers to read with. I hear Jamie saying that he hates Comic Sans. I know others who really like it. If one of those others send an HTML message containing tags to use Comic Sans when displaying the message, is that fair to Jamie? When using plain text, this is never an issue. You compose with what font you like and we read your message with what font we like. -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html _
