My apologies to all for continuing this thread but...

1. Who cares? I don't like HTML anymore than the next guy or girl but
this is downright rude and nonsensical. It's pointless to put this
on-list.

2. BANDWIDTH?! Want to talk about BANDWIDTH? More bandwidth was just
chewed up by all this gobble-di-gook than was by the HTML code. I
can't believe you guys have time to waste on perpetuating this thread.

Again, my apologies for posting this publicly, but, I couldn't help
myself (maybe I should have... though, it would've been nicer had the
previous lot also left it alone :-)
