Here’s our choice: we can trust you folks to do the right thing . . . or we can remove your ability to use html coding.

So far, we’ve tended to believe in trust – and in you folks.

Like to think this can continue. We were really gratified to see how fast you all moved on the last problem, with your help it’s a win-win deal all the way around.

I am closing this thread.
