And people waste more "bandwidth" than HTML email could ever dream of
by rehashing this crap every other day.  The bandwidth that email
uses, HTML or not is *nothing* compared with *every other activity one
does online*.  If you don't want HTML email, deal with it on your own
and leave the rest of us out of your useless crusade.  Shake your fist
at the kids on the lawn all you like, just shut the hell up about it.

Pointing out that this quote indicates James "gets it" and this
admonishment isn't directed at him.  It's directed at the rest of you
whiners who can't shut the hell up about HTML email and how it gets
your knickers in a knot.
