re: Amanda and MIME
Amanda wrote an interesting post. I think if we only use MIME, the quality of discussion on the list would skyrocket. Eric, you should block all non-MIME posts to the list. How could we have been so blind? <bold>I've <bold>come <bold>to <bold>rethink <bold>my <bold>position <bold>on <bold>MIME. <bold>It <bold>is <bold>definitely <bold>the <bold>savior. <bold>After <bold>all, <bold>this <bold>formatting <bold>just <bold>has <bold>some <bold>extra <bold>stuff <bold>which <bold>should <bold>be <bold>to <bold>hard <bold>to <bold>read <bold>around. <bold>Heck, <bold>I'm <bold>sure <bold>this <bold>is <bold>so <bold>legible <bold>to <bold>everybody <bold>I <bold>may <bold>launch <bold>into <bold>a <bold>mathematical <bold>explanation <bold>of <bold>various <bold>public <bold>key <bold>cryptography <bold>protocols. <bold>Maybe <bold>even <bold>a <bold>few <bold>dining <bold>cryptographers <bold>diagrams. I think the MIME backers should do something that makes me want MIME. Start posting such crucial diagrams and interesting formatted documents, so that I feel like I'm losing something by not going to MIME immediately. I haven't really seen how MIME will enrich the discussion (and I use that term loosely) here. Crap like including a gif/jpeg of myself with each post isn't exactly compelling.

The anonymous poster should feel happy he's anonymous, as his posting is embarassingly stupid. Perhaps he'd like to make fun of ASCII next by posting his next message as sequences of octal digits. Perry
