Oh yea, would you like to know the results of the survey that was conducted last week regarding newsletters being published in plain text vs HTML? If you recall, I had asked for votes either for or against HTML. Well, the results are in! (drum roll please) The vote was overwhelmingly for text and none, zero, nada for HTML. I really want to thank the subscribers who responded (both of you) to this survey. That's right folks, we received only two responses, but both were firmly against the HTML version of newsletters. In all honesty, I had hoped for a larger response. Just in - vote for HTML 33 1/3% while 66 2/3% voted for text. Yep, after I had written the above I received the third vote and it was for HTML.
