I think many of the complaints are more vile and waste more bandwidth than
the things they are complaining about. There seems to be a certain core
group of users that are adamantly opposed to anything that has to do with:

Windows
AOL
Outlook or Outlook Express
Anything invented in the last 20 years.

Most of them act as if they are still using 150 baud Teletypes and that
anything that imposes a hint of technological progress beyond that
constitutes a mortal threat to world civilization.

It makes a body want to post in HTML just so you can listen to them shriek.
