There are the IETF and W3C and such organizations, but RFCs can be and 
are submitted by anyone without any committee involvement, unless that's 
changed within the past few years.  As it happens, I spoke too quickly: 
vcard actually is covered by an RFC.  But then, so is netiquette. :)

Actually, I've taken you back out because I found a better solution, which I
have recommended to Warp as well.  I no longer see vcard information, because 
I modified my newsreader to kill the remainder of an article when it sees a 
line containing the vcard MIME content type.  Open Source is such a beautiful 
thing.

Ah, that was supposed to be a joke.  You were the only person in my killfile,
so I thought you might get lonely in there with just a couple threads to 
interact with.

Not at all.  I use Windows myself, as you can see from my headers.  I just 
know when a GUI is useful and when it isn't.  I read .binaries.images in
Netscape; everything else I use a more efficient interface for.

The above is what I see at the end of your posts now.  Ahhhh, that's so 
much better! :)
