HTML

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

I think I may have been one of the HTML offenders.  I'd set my Outlook
default to RichText when I first started here; that has now been remedied.

Please add to my list:

- poor/missing punctuation
- gross neglect of appropriate capitalization
- CAPS LOCK
- syntactic/semantic misconduct
- use of silly abbreviations, e.g., "u r gr8" to replace "you are great"
- anything that can be described as "this hurts my eyes"

Insert other ObRant items here.
