Your constant bitching about formatting is old. I have posted it as I received it - ugly, from a windblow$ luser.
If you have so much trouble reading EVERY goddamn post here, why don't you just killfile us all?
I agree with Measl. I sent "Karsten M. Self" (if that's his real name) to the cornfield for his worthless contributions and willful ignorance. I got the "Anthrax protocol issued" post just fine. Maybe it's because I have "Show MIME" disabled. Maybe "Karsten M. Self" is complaining because he has MIME enabled. (Which is presumably why we keep getting his MIME signatures attached to his mail, and which lne.com thoughtfully removes.) Fact is, straight ASCII text is the lingua franca of the Net (note that "lingua franca" was NOT italicized in some non-ASCII 128 font). What is lost in not having accent agraves and umlauts and Farsi language fonts is more than made up for by having the "straight 128" ASCII character set. --Tim May "You don't expect governments to obey the law because of some higher moral development.
