While I'm generally among the world leaders in ascribing
differences to "a matter of taste", I must demur on this
point. Yes, I agree conventional desktop users frequently
pass around .doc-s. It's NEVER acceptable to me, though,
in the context of this thread, simply because .doc-s are
such agents of contagion. They're infectious. It's un-
safe computing.
If you substitute .rtf for .doc in what you wrote, I can
accept it.
