Maybe I am a picky old codger, but when I have over 100 pieces of
mail to read through, I just delete those that have hard to read text
such as these. I figure that the author must not have much to say if
they need to "dress up" their text. Please give the newsgroup a
break.

He also likes to write ___ |~~ | hings like this, with |~~ ancy capital letters at the start of each paragraph. That's what Mr. Ashbrook was complaining about. If you're going to post a flame, at the *least* you should know what you're talking about. >What I cannot stand are jerks who have sigs as long as their messages! What I cannot stand are people who have to tell the whole world what they cannot stand. Take this to e-mail; I don't want to have to watch you two bicker, and neither does the rest of the world. >--Glenn (You can find one of my addresses in the header.
