Don't use MS-Word as a document exchange format

I have just begun to establish the documents regarding this particular netrant, about people who think that MS-Word files are appropriate to send to anyone other than those who have agreed to accept them. My early draft of a response to that behavior is available

as DeVice Independent [ 60K]
This is useful if you have a DVI viewer, but I also find it useful to send to people who send me MS-Word documents. You may wish to do the same.
as Portable Document Format [136K]
This is the same as the DVI, but more broadly readable, and is an appropriate way to distribute documents.
as LaTeX source [ 23K]
If you are curious about what I actually typed in to get that document, this is it. (The revision control system typed some of it.)
as HTML [ 30K]
This is an HTML file automatically generated from the LaTeX file.
as plain text [ 28K]
This an a plain text file automatically generated from the HTML file.

Because it is a frequently changing document and I haven't managed to get the revision control info to pass to all of the formats that it is converted to, I am also making the rlog document history available. My comments in that were not originally intended for public consumption, so expect them to be cryptic.
