I’ve heard of huge welcomes, but…
Reason #142857 to avoid HTML mail: browser incompatibilities. Yes, for the curious, that is an unaltered screenshot (besides the necessary blurring of addresses, of course) of how one particular HTML-formatted message from the campus listserv displayed in Mozilla/Netscape 7’s rendering engine at the default font size, thanks to some bizarre nesting of <BIG> tags. Naturally, it was rendered at a reasonable size in Outlook Express; go figure…
EDIT: Oh, man. That’s not the worst part. Looking at the headers, I discovered that the message was composed in Netscape 7 (albeit an earlier version, based on Moz 1.0)…
That’s… weird. Really weird. How did you end up reading it?
On a side note, you didn’t put that number in randomly, did you? Because that number, plus the repetend bar, is the decimal value of 1/7. Plus a host of other cool stuff, like the multiples of it are all numerical anagrams of it.

Nope, it wasn’t random; I picked it because it has all the neat properties you mentioned. I’m such a geek. ::grin::
