Oh no, don't start the top vs bottom posts flame war! *runs for the hills*. ;) To address Bnonn (nhrn): Plain text is not just "old skool". It's the only way you can be sure that what you send is what other people read. People spend ages making their emails look "pretty", and are horribly dismayed when you show them screenshots of their mangled mail being read in different mail clients.

I'm willing to overlook "my mailer is a bit screwed, please don't shoot me" (I have to, mine just was!), but it's well established that you just don't do that when posting to lists. We don't mind if you're not pretty with us, Bnonn. ;) G.
