Still trying to break the president ah_Clem ? ( Ah_clem's clever web handle is a rather obscure reference to a Firesign Theater skit where an insistent dissenter badgers an automated president of the USA and breaks him with simple logic. Firesign Theater fans [like myself[ like to play out scenes and have a penchant for the dramatic. They often forget that younger people go more for Stewie or some Teen Hunger Force style of randomness. ) It mystifies me why we are worried about rich text ten years into the new millennium. Especially in support of a computer platform which claims preeminence in web creation.
