These "rules" as they are called were in place long before you (or I, and I have been a member since around 1998-99) joined the list and have served to help cut down on some of the posts to the list. Since this list has thousands of people subscribed to it and can generate over 200 emails a day every little bit helps. And yes there are still people on this list that are -forced- to use metered dial-up so <snipping> out parts you are not answering and -not- using html does help their online bill from getting overly large. So, you have two choices - either accept the ways of this list or leave the list and start your own with your own rules.
