As for the search sites, I believe Jeff is having some issues with his
servers and I am sure they are being fixed ASAP :)

Would someone tell me why the geeky mailing lists have an aversion to html
messages please?)

Peter,

There are probably many reasons that people can come up with, but one is
the ability to spoof/hide urls in the html tags and images, making an
URL or image appear as one place, but sending you somewhere else.

Then many people find the embedded images, multi-color flashing things,
and gigantic multi-color fonts, as well as microscopic fonts to be annoying.

And on and on...I think everybody has their own version of the most
annoying embedded html.
