Noise is how much you've quoted from earlier mails vs how much you
have actually written yourself. I'm low on noise since I take the
fascist approach towards snipping off all that isn't absolutely
relevant to the current post. Hey, if I can't trim stuff off my tummy
at least I can trim it off my posts :)

I don't know about that -- a mailing list will either (a) accept HTML,
(b) remove it and leave plain-text or (c) ban it. ILUGD follows (b)
to the best of my knowledge. After removal of HTML your post is
identical (more or less) to what it would have been if you'd posted
with HTML turned off.
[10 points to anyone who can make sense of the previous sentence -- I
can't!]

Perhaps newbies don't know how to use the ``delete line'' key? Or is
it that they don't know that they should use it?
