That forwarded posting was not intended as an argument but as an example showing someone else's viewpoints on HTML and its use in Usenet newsgroups. The MindSpring thread is a big thread currently running in the newsgroup " alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent ". I happen recently to have started to use Free Agent in addition to the TIN newsreader so I am also reading the newsgroup, alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent right now. Do you want me to start a thread in "alt.ascii-art" about how to use the newssreader Free-Agent for Ascii Art postings ? The Free-Agent fonts are different...and care is needed with right-hand margin settings...shall I go on ? *8-) Bye,
