[ExI] META: The Evils of HTML (was Re: No one dies re: Clarke, Arthur)

[Lee Corbin]

Kevin, I couldn't tell who was saying what either.  I would repeat
the customary plea for people to not use HTML if at all possible.
Try harder to find the settings in your email client, or in a dropdown
menu somewhere, or on the web page from where you are posting.

Not only that, a lot of people just skip HTML because of the
inevitable top-posting, bottom posting, and general confusion
attending such posts. Not only that, but it's felt that serious
posters---people who want their ideas to be addressed seriously
---will take the pains to avoid HTML.

Look below for a perfect example.

Lee

My apologies. The message posted was from you and I did not see that that portion of the message was from Samantha.

I, John Grigg, did not write what Kevin Freels attributed to me.  Please see below:

when you examine it) comfort to the bereaved.   Methinks we will take
ending aging and mandatory death much more seriously when we stop coming
up with such myths and beliefs.
