I've always posted in plain text, and have often included pictures.

Probably because plain text is the simplest universal medium, that isn't interpreted differently by every browser and email client out there. We can actually read plain text looking at the raw source. Oddly enough, information contained in plain text doesn't seem to become better information with the addition of big letters and colors. Since lists like this are about and for information (at least they are for me), I can't help but wonder why so many insist on HTML when it doesn't add substance and really annoys some of them when they look for something in archives that are full of what they posted. But then a lot of things confuse me. Ron N
