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-)
