This is _not_ a solution. Many people do not _want_ HTML news - news
is meant to be a TEXT facility, not HTML, not graphics, and certainly
not binary.

There is no evidence that Owen was spamming. A lightly cross-posted
one-time ad is fine. It is even on-topic. 

But.

Owen, you _should_ know better. Hell, most of Perth knows better.
Consider yourself roundly and righteously paffed. News == Text.
Web == HTML.

Good advice. Better advice: Get a _real_ newsreader - not Netscrape or
Internet Exploder.

Damn right!

And Owen? NO BINARIES IN NON-BINARY GROUPS!

And Mark? Remeber to snip out the irrelevent bits when responding
to silliness like this.
