Do you notice how there is an right angle bracket before each sentence Turq posts? He learned that from Judy over on Usenet, years ago. Others just use text wrap and so it looks messy with only one right angle bracket. Sometimes, when newbies post they don't snip, so the whole thing becomes a jumble to look at. Remember, you're dealing with professional writers with Barry and Judy - one does contract work for IBM with user manuals and 'Editpad'; the other uses 'Word'. They've been at this for decades. So, yes, it's text, but professionally formatted for easy reading. Everyone knows that plain text with line breaks is the preferred format for discussion groups.
