Re: {HTML Posting} [NSW] Ads on T/G sets

(with much crappage snipped)

Must you post in HTML? Not everyone's news reader supports it, and of those 
people I doubt many are willing to change over to an inferior piece of 
bloatware that co-incidentally supports it.

HTML was designed for web pages, not email or Usenet. Posting crap in HTML 
is almost as bad as binaries on newsgroups, since it is a much larger waste 
of bandwidth.

How many lines of information was there? FYI, there were 277 and 293 lines 
of wasted bandwidth, respectively.

Regards
Michael
