Pretty strong evidence there, Steve, although I would suspect that
there is an element of conservatism there.  After all, you do a
good job with your turns and people like that, so most of them will
be happy not rocking the boat.  Besides, I'd imagine that most of
the people with strong views the other way will have dropped out
already.

That said, I also have a sneaking suspicion that the games that
are most likely to have players wanting the text/html option are
the big, number-crunching games (Legends being an obvious, if
extreme, example -- although that already has its own front end).
Not the sort of game you run, really?

Rob.
