That's exactly the stuff I don't want to see in public places. Fancied
up messages are like sex--it's great when done in private between
consenting people, but it's obscene when done in public. That's the
way I feel about HTML in messages posted in public forums. I'd call it
WOMBAT--waste of money, brains and time. At best it is a breach of
netiquette, at worst it is offensive like gaudy junk mail.
