Why plain text? Are you still living in a cave or something? Men
already landed on the moon... hmmm... almost 50 years ago... and we
are going to land on Mars soon... only if Bush brings back some oil
to fuel the mission of course... hahaha!!!


Why? Because it is a request in the charter of this newsgroup:

"When posting on rec.photo.digital.point+shoot, please use standard Usenet
netiquette. Treat other posters with courtesy and follow standard
conventions
when replying to posts. Please trim the posts you reply to, retaining only
the
significant portions in your follow up. Preserve attributions (the bits
that
specify who wrote what in each post) and limit your signature to 4 lines
or
less. To ensure readability, do not use HTML in your posts and limit your
line
lengths to the Usenet standard of 80 characters or less."
