Sure Larry, but you're absolutely the first person to ask or even bring it
up. Does it mess up your newsreader somehow? How did you notice the format
when no one else has complained? I'd seriously like to know - I'm not
being a smartass here.... otherplaces, probably.

You are the rare person that responds favorably to this request.

I have asked others, and almost always, they come back with a smart assed
response, or ignore you.

There are others out there with the html running away, but I rarely say
anything, either. It has sort-of become convention for usenet groups to use
plain text formats. In my newsreader, the html font choices are narrow,
smaller and harder to read, and it behaves differently with line wraps.

I like reading the plain text better, 5 to 1.

Thanks
