The whole point of the links posted earlier is that stripping tags is just useless work. If you want tags, why don't you add them yourself, instead of having the client software add the tags, just to have them stripped again later. Plus, stripping can never be done perfectly. I voted for tags. Then I read the links and got convinced otherwise. Really, it was just my own ignorance getting in the way. Stephen |
