I asked you many months ago why you -- as the only person here, to my knowledge -- insist on contributing to this list in ugly, bloated HTML emails, instead of in plain-text, which is the gold standard of mailing-lists, especially (!) tech lists. Constantly posting in HTML makes you look like a perpetual clueless newbie. Also, I made you aware many months ago that your cr*ppy AOL email software -- again, as the *only* contributor's here -- incessantly breaks the proper threading of messages from this list. With every contribution you send to this list using AOL, you break a discussion thread, creating havon on (for example) my iPad and iPhone, etc. If you don't give a damn about messing up other people's inboxes on a daily basis, you can't be surprised at the lack of civility you're experiencing, or the lack of interest in your innumerable projects.
Completely agreed on every point. I cannot read pg emails on an ipod touch. I also subscribe to a Linux User's Group which appears to be using exactly same email software, and I can read them. -- Greg M. Johnson http://pterandon.blogspot.com
