Well, not no more...now that I know this list doesn't bounce.

I know -- a lot of lists don't -- its just that
it's seems a giant step backwards in terms of communication --
even handwriting is more expressive -- even a real typewriter
could do underlining, and bold. How about RTF? Is that
portable enough? Just feels like I'm stuck in the 70's.
The TTY's have gotten fancier, but its still mostly ascii text in terminal windows...sorta sad (not mean though..thats different), though it could be mean if it was a conspiracy...) :-)
