Yes, I do. However, I also have punitively expensive internet access,
and I prefer to download PDF files rather than to receive gifs in
e-mail
-- YES! They clutter my Attachments folder and get lost among the
zillions of files on my computer --
or to visit someone's web site to read an illustration-heavy document
like Peter's.

Easily said, James. It took long enough for me to stop the download.
We have over the years come to rely on PDF for discussion documents
and I would like to encourage Peter to make use of them. All he needs
to do is have a page like http://www.evertype.com/formal.html on his
website and he can have links to many such documents. This would, in
my view, help him get the answers he is looking for.
