Don't worry, the textual crimes here on the internet are nothing 
compared to what people dare to send me by e-mail. It's appalling, 
really. My e-mail client does not support html and I think that is a 
good thing. Who wants to read hypertext anyway! But no! Those morons 
insist on sending me mail in hypertext, complete with font suggestions 
and colors and text-size and  all that. I JUST WANT TEXT! I am 
perfectly capable of choosing the font I like to read text in all by 
myself. I don't need them to do it for me.

Then another transgression these hypertext warriors engage in is 
sending a plain-text version of the e-mail along with it that uses 
format=flowed! Can you believe this?? Also taking into consideration 
that most people have no idea what paragraphs are, this means the 
lines sprawl over the screen forever, meaning I have to move my head 
and strain my neck all over the screen simply to read an e-mail. What do 
they think I am?! A giraffe?

Yet when I tell them in furious anger and with lots of caps and 
exclamation marks about hypertext and giraffes, they act as if *I* am 
the crazy one. Unforgivable.
