While we're on the subject of pet hates, while I also consider
spam to be an irritation, it's a small one, (since I can easily
identify, and quickly delete it), compared to:

  - Top posting, such as your reply to me.
  - Messages with lines longer than ~70 characters.
  - Failure to crop out irrelevant content.
  - Unnecessary posting in HTML format.

All of these are considered to be very poor mail-list etiquette;
I'd be grateful if you'd avoid this form of posting.

Thanks,
Keith.

P.S. BTW, I discard *all* HTML e-mail without reading it, and I
also discard *all* *.doc file attachments unopened.
