I understand why you deem that arrogant and rude (and will not say that I'm not!), but consider this: A friend of you sends you a letter on high-gloss paper, with photos and much graphic design, etc. So that it looks just like one of those advertisements you toss in the bin without even checking what they have to offer. Wouldn't you tell them not to send you letters like that, because otherwise you would have to read all that spam, because there might just be a "real" letter in between? Of course one can whitelist their addresses, which I actually do, but then there's still a good chance that there's some nasty Windoze-Virus (which always seem to use HTML:-), which, though it can't infect my Linux machine, is still as enerving as spam... So, for me, it's no-html-in-email.
BTW: Just because a certain capability is "no longer the exception" doesn't mean "everyone absolutely has got to use it, or even can" and, secondly, "people don't even know", well, of course I tell them, should they ask why I haven't responded...
Looking at all these posts I guess he would be severely injured if he said this in real life instead of online...
Some Programms are skinneable, which is often the only way to make them look alike since the UI they come with is crappy... Otherwise I could live without that feature...
Well my mailfilter moves anything containing html-tags directly into trash, which was a good was to Pavlov my friends into not sending me such, if they wanted me to read the mail...
My computer contains no lights except the network diodes... I don't have stylish windows cut into its cover either, I leave it off:-)
And I always considered those Apples to be buttugly, because they look like a toaster from the '70s... Which reminds me, weren't Macs called "beige Toasters" once?
My guess is, this guy mistakes "aesthetics" and "design" for "visual Overloads" and "Graphic Artists on LSD". Design should be unobstrusive, like FX, it's bad when it distracts you enough to notice it's even there...
well, my university (Aachen, Germany) requires me to display read-only capability in Latin, English and French. For the latter one I write a test today, concluding a six week intensive course. I expect to pass, but, here comes the twist: At the beginning I swore that if I passed, I would go learn Esperanto (which I consider interesting, but utterly useless:-). I also had ("had", because it's been a long time since I used it) some basic understanding of Klingon back when I was still running around in my uniform (no, I don't do that anymore. Grown-up, I guess. No, Ah! Stop the bashing! "Fire at Will!":-) After that I guess I could finally learn Russian which I started a few years ago, because a good friend of mine is from St. Petersburg, but let slip because other things were more important... Japanese would be cool too... Jeesh, so many languages and so little time:-)

1) The bulk of the noise is by posted by the anonymous cowards. Eliminate anonymity.
Eliminate anonymity, yes? Why not make Social Security number mandatory? Or thumbprint? That way one could eliminate non-american posters as well...
Seriously, if/. wants to represent a community that emphasizes on the individuals right, then anonymity is a must. Otherwise it would loose its credibility.
2) In order to prevent people from creating multiple trolling accounts and accompanying karma-whore accounts (for moderating up the trolls), tie every account to a one specific IP.
Ah, your ISP doesn't change your IP at least every 24 hours? Mine does.
3) Each individual has his/her personal style of writing. In fact, there exist algorithms and software for identifying an anonymous author by using his previous, non-anonymous posts. In the arts such algorithms have been used with great success to determine fake works by "Shakespeare" or some other famous author. By collecting the posts of well-known trolls into a database, we can cross correlate both anonymous and fake IP accounts with each specific troll. This enables the site administrators to take legal action against these die-hard career trolls.
And the moment your algorithm accidentaly "hits" someone innocent (in terms of trolling) you're executing volatile censorship. See 1)
