comment

Ahh please don't change anything!!!

The main reasons I use this forum as my number one source of info is -

The wealth of knowledge (that's right, I'll say it again) and the plain
text format.  It cuts out all the crap.

If I wanted cutsie, I'd join a social group.

Regarding photos, I'll guaran-damn-ty y'all don't want my mug shot
plastered on the wall.

My Friday 2cents.

As I mentioned in the poll and maybe someone has already posted...
The Technet needs to support HTML format and allow attachments.
Maybe it does already and I'm just not with it but I don't think it
does.

Agreed.

I'm interested in what other posters have to say, I don't care if they
look like George Clooney or have a face that would frighten a police
horse. Would I be thought of as cynical if I thought that some
contributors may be tempted to use photos of themselves from earlier
times or perhaps even photos of someone more photogenic than themselves?

After all, who's to know?

 I'm quite happy with nice plain text messages and no other
distractions.

Regards,
