Ignorant newbies may at some point become the Michael Elkins of the future. Back in the day when I was an "ignorant newbie", I came to this list for help. I got a little help and plenty of "ignorant newbie" attitude. We could do with a little less of that attitude in all endeavors and a little more "hand holding". Not all of us are IT professionals. Some of us are blacksmiths, gun salesmen, truck drivers, and even ecdysiasts. "No exceptions"? Really? I seem to get quite a bit of HTML formatted email from friends, family, and business associates. Also, some of the lists I subscribe to come in HTML. If you can't figure out a better method of dealing with spam than to filter out HTML messages, perhaps there is another "ignorant newbie" you neglected to consider. I appologize ahead of time for this rant, but you see, I know what a DOS window is and I guess I'm getting ornery in my old age. Dale the Ornery Old Goat -- "Think nobody intercepts email?
