This is my two cents. Since when someone comes here and posts a html message they get told not to use html anyway, why not let them know beforehand that html is not the "norm" on this list? I don't think it would hurt to put that on the website where the mailing lists subscribe info is and also in the email that confirms the subscription. I wouldn't mind seeing that part in bold or something in the email to make sure it is seen. I suspect this would solve a lot of problems in the long run. Another two cents before I run out of change. It may be a good idea to mention about top posting as well. Since people complain about it, may as well put that there as well. Maybe not in bold but in the same paragraph. Maybe put this in a netiquette section or something. Why does spell check not like the word netiquette? o_O Dale :-) :-)
