TF>>> Your choice is costing me money. D>> And exactly how much extra is it costing you?
BBTE> Does it matter? Doing something that you know costs someone else money is BBTE> rude, even if it's no more than one cent. I regret the tone of my reply (D) above. Certainly in some parts of the world this may be a very real issue. I wanted to defend myself against TF who seemed to be accusing me of costing him money, which I am not. My point was that one should look at the facts, and discern the best course of action to take based on those facts, rather than evoking arguments to rationalise one's prejudicial viewpoint. As my last contribution to this thread, I just want to say I have found the discussion informative, but that I do not wish to be identified (demonised) as someone who advocates HTML...I sense a lot of strong feeling on the list about this. I do advocate informed choice. Since coming to TB! I have been somewhat converted to plain text myself, and like many who have contributed, find it more than adequate for most of my mail. It still seems obvious to me that Ritlabs is making a judgement about HTML in the way it has configured TB!, and if this is a considered stance based on the principal of the thing, I applaud it wholeheartedly. -- David Boggon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Developed nations constitute only 20% of the world's population, yet consume 86% of the world's goods.
