Are you trolling? =20

Do you write proposals, resumes, term papers, etc in plaintext?  While
some people certainly do so, chances are you don't.  You probably use
TeX, PS, HTML or another markable format.  Well, email is a document
too, and like more traditional documents, lots of people need/want to
communicate in a manner that plaintext format simply doesn't provide. =20

So, are you arguing against marking up email in general, or just against
the RFC2112/1872/2387 message-format in particular? =20

On the other issue...

Do you REALLY think we're evil?  If so, I don't think you know what evil
is.  Evil is slaughtering those who believe differently from you, or
whose parentage differs from yours.  Evil is selling poison to
schoolchildren to smoke, or flying an airplane full of people and fuel
into a populated building.  Evil is blowing up elementary schools, or
releasing nerve gas in a subway.  Let's keep things in perspective,
shall we?  I hope you never come across real evil, even if it means you
might have to revise your opinion of us.
