Plain text for everybody puts everybody on a common playing field.

It prevents the bright red 24point screaming, the bold underlined

It forces people to put at least a modicum of thought into their
message, proper description of problem, solutions, and questions.

that's clear to anybody except those who refuse to understand.. a
mailing list isn't a multimedia forum, and this is a mailing list.

if we, meaning those of us who want to keep this a mailing list, which
includes the organizers just stopped responding to these silly posts,
they would go away. as long as people keep arguing, this thread will
never stop. i blocked the original thread, but it's spread into several
and i'm getting bored and annoyed.

blocking people is unnecessarily harsh and not very effective since email
addresses don't cost a thing. why not leave them to rant on alone;
believe me, there's nothing anybody can say to change their opinion.
