tuxnus:

Just spent about a week making a new template for my companys newsletter. Guess what? CSS is hardly supported by email clients, both on and offline. Notably gmail, which has nearly no support at all.
So I have to redesign the whole thing in tables. AAAAAAARRRGHHH!!!
So there are times when tables still have to be used.

'Die Tables Die' indeed!
Ed

yabba_hh: unlucky
yabba_hh: I suppose this isn't the time to tell Ed that all my emails are "plain text" only, so shit like "my comments are in blue" tiotally fail?
tuxnus: which is why i italicized them
tuxnus: (for the color-impared)
yabba_hh: and you managed to do that in plain text by ....... ?
tuxnus: well, yer a moron
yabba_hh: lmfao
tuxnus: read (a most unusual character)
tuxnus: unique
yabba_hh: uhuh
tuxnus: odd
tuxnus: eccentric
tuxnus: weird
tuxnus: obtuse
tuxnus: cryptic
tuxnus: one of a kind
yabba_hh: as opposed to "of course italics will work if plain text format is all his client accepts and he can't see my colour"
tuxnus: I thought they would
yabba_hh: fuckin' muppet

Life is a delusion .... hell, most Americans think they speak English

yabba_hh: in that case, unless yer willing to send him a pic of yah naked holding a bunch of daffodils or summat artisitic, you'll have to rely on me to nag him on your behalf
yabba_hh: btw, if you do decide to send him a pic of you naked holding a bunch of daffs , send me a copy ...... I need summat for my next blog post
topanga_be: I don't even send a pic of me with clothes
yabba_hh: no worries, my visitors are used to weird posts, send me a picture of you inside a box
topanga_be: ok

You know, the main reason that we get on is that we each consistently get proof that the other is weirder than ourselves

tuxnus: yer only half a help
yabba_hh: yeah, but I always hope that the half I provide is enough to make the recipient realise that they can work it out themselves
