You have requested an apology, so here it is..
I, Lue Ebra, apologise to this newsgroup for voicing my opinions. I was
under the impression that the NG's were the place to voice one's opinion.
Certainly everyone around me seemed to be doing the same. But it seems that
freedom of speech applies to popular opinions. So in the future I will
censor my remarks to coincide with popular opinion. As Ken and Graham said,
this thread of mine has been most counterproductive. I do regret starting
the whole bloody mess.

Before you say sth. think about it. If you don't understand why people get
pissed at HTML postings, make sure you know what you're talking about. Of
course you can voice your opinion. But if you insult people with rash
remarks, don't complain if you get angry replies. The freedom of speech
applies to everybody.

You apology was recieved and was submitted to the review board.
After hours of deliberation a decision was arrived at to accept
your humble apology. Now don't you feel better !

For your efforts you even get a smily face :)

  Other groups discussing about HTML exist on Usenet.  I cannot
recommend any to you (unless you speak French), but if you want to
hear the reasons why HTML pisses off people, then go there.

  Not only, of course.  But when you speak (I mean, speak, with your
mouth and tongue and all), even when you speak words of pure and
infinite wisdom, you're not surprised to get flamed if every other
word you say is "fuck" or "shit" or "damned bastard".  Or some kind of
a dialect that only uses some English words and is ununderstandable
besides them.  You can't expect people to applause when you say "now
everybody shall speak Irish".  Ever been to Ireland?  They think they
speak English, but it's not *quite* understandable for non-Irish.
(Their readheads are lovely, though :-)  HTML is a question of form,
not content.  Content is free.  Form is there to maximise
readability.  Not to maximise blinks and flashes and colours.
