Colin wrote the FAQ and the charter of this newsgroup. Your reply reeks
of ignorance of the problem that control codes can cause. NOT EVERYONE is
using Netscpae to read news. There are Macs, PC, VT-100 terminals and
UNIX systems. Just because it doesn't affect your system, doesn't mean
it won't affect others. On my system UNIX box running Freeport software
control codes (in fact last week in another NG) switched my screen to
unreadable extended ASCII characters. I didn't even open the article, 
the poster thought it would be cute to put escape codes in his Subject
header line.
