Good hosting

Anyone who can't/won't pretty consistently post in plain text rather
than the format illustrated below should please not host. Garbage has
somehow slipped into an occasional plain-text message of mine, so I
know accidents happen. But some people know what they're doing, even
apologize and promise to clean up their act, and then keep right on
doing it. As long as we're stuck with obsolete list software, let's
try harder to make the best of it instead of the worst. I'm not just
being fussy: text with broken words, intrusive equals signs and other
garbage code in it isn't just annoying to read; it defeats attempts to
search it later. And try clicking on a link with a nonauthorial = in
it.
