got it.
Don't see how to turn off HTML on this mozilla firefox yet ..
and plain text is harder to read and kinda boring, to me.

a guy was telling me this list is in decline and thesamba forum flourishes..
I don't like forum style as much as email group postings myself ...

yeah, I really dislike plain small text on white background.    Kinda
'sterile' .  or stale. lol.
