I don't think it's as big of a problem as this thread makes it out to be. While I'm sure some people do ignore posts that fall into those categories, there's not really much you or I can do about it. You admit that you ignore anything that you're not looking for, maybe we should address that group of members on this list. One could argue that everybody should read every message and comment if they can, but that's not what happens.
Do you honestly believe that people who ignore html emails are doing something different than you for ignoring any post you don't care about? That argument can be easily silenced when you realize that some people "don't care" for html formatted email. Anyway, my purpose in sending that last post was to say my piece and shut up, not continue this thread as I'm getting tired of it and I'm going to ignore it very soon.
