Well, then let him stop and reverse the logic - and the rest of everyone
else as well. If "I don't like X because I can't read it" and "I don't
like Y because I have a hard time downloading it" are valid logics for
him, then the several times that those logic statements have been used
*against* RTF might have been listened to.

No. Instead, we get Gurth (and now several others) repeating themselves
by saying the same thing they'ver already said: "I prefer RTF - I can't
download and view Postscript, besides everyone else can read RTF."

The latter is, of course, false.


So take your own chillpill. Everyone else too. Particularly now that the
point has been moot. Remember: 24 hours ago, Fro decided what format he
was using. Further discussion is an exercise in typing.
