Hi Gang, This is a strange situation. I read the list in Pegasus Mail and routinely display all messages as plain text even when they're sent in HTML ( or web page style) format. So I don't even see all the fancy formatting stuff the rest of you have to put up with.
So I had to look REALLY HARD to find the post of Hank's that offended James! In the rules for Commercial Activity, which I've included below, it states that: 'Reasonable use of signature files and taglines is permitted. I will judge what is "reasonable." ' My judgment is that Hank's banner *is* over the edge. If you could trim it out of posts to this list, sir, I'd appreciate it. I have to ask the rest of you if there are others who routinely send banners or other stuff on their mail that is at least as flashy and commercial, but promoting somebody else's busines rather than the member's own? My impression is some of the "free" e-mail services append stuff to users' mail that is at least as annoying. Just curious. My other judgment is that I'd prefer comments on the misbehavior of list members be sent to me privately, so I can referee. James sent me a private note, but I think it was after his on-list reply. And this will *all* become a moot point if I ever implement the stripping of MIME formatted content, leaving just the text. This is, of course, one of those things I'm going to do Real Soon Now (tm), so don't hold your breath, anyone. <sigh> Please be gentle with each other, folks. Be well, Mike Devour silver-list owner >>>>>begin included text from list rules No Commercial Activity This is a non-commercial forum. No vendor may participate except as a private individual. No promotion of any kind is permitted without my prior, explicit approval of each occurrence. No vendor or representative may promote a particular product or malign any other. No vendor sales or solicitation is permitted except in private e-mail. It is each member's responsibility to make sure all business is conducted privately and not on the list, but it is especially the vendors' responsibility to know how to reply off list to avoid violating this rule. Exception: Reasonable use of signature files and taglines is permitted. I will judge what is "reasonable."
