	No actually, I said that we should NOT post RTF in the vast  
majority of cases, specificly because non-NeXT users DO and SHOULD read  
this News Group (if you'ld bother reading the entire post).  It's  
completely pointless to stick a picture of your dog in your .sig file.   
What I'm saying is that there are times where a message is only of  
interest to NeXT users (ie new icon).  In those cases, it's far more  
appropriate to send it out RTF then to send it out in another format (save  
maybe uuencode).
	Please don't quote my posts so blatently out of context.
