I have no problem with html posts what so ever. I have a reasonably
fast internet connection and I use modern software that is html
compliant. The only reason that I help enforce the non html ruling
here in the news groups is because of the issue that people such
as yourself complain so loudly on the subject that I get tired of
hearing about it. Also as a memeber of the TAG I have a responsibility
to to the POV-Team to help keep the strain on the news servers
resources down to a minimum.
  Otherwise I wouldn't care one way or another. Sometimes I really
miss not being able to use some of the added bennefits of posting
in html. It would be really nice to color highlight or underline a
phrase to add emphasis to a statement or hightlight a problem in
scene code. Plain text is boring and restrictive.
