It's worse than that. Even halfway intelligent people will think that if everybody else does something a certain way, then that must be the most intelligent way of doing it, because presumably someone must have put some thought into it. My worst example came when somebody asked why I replied after the quoted material. I gave her the standard explanation, and then she asked "Aren't you worried about people not reading your email?". It turned out that she had brainwashed herself into thinking that "start of quoted material = end of message: stop reading" and had almost deleted my email because it didn't have anything before the quoted stuff. I'm still annoyed that she'd think I'd be more likely to send out unedited full quotes of emails than to do the right thing. And she uses Linux, so the problem has spread beyond LookOut. In happier news, there's a lot of talk here about scrapping LookOut and IE because they're so insecure. -- Penguins are so sensitive to my needs. - Lyle Lovett Robert I.
