My, you are a surly one. I was really mean to explain some of the
facts of life to you. Do you really think I keep a list of silly
html posters who have been told the facts and responded with ugly
noises? You might consider that the cause of the message was the
appearance of the silly html, not your identity. After that you
might ponder on who placed that html on usenet in the first place.

However, if you have been doing this since the mid 90s, you do
appear to be fairly slow on the uptake.
