I get a nothing when I try to read Paula's message. I viewed source (or
is that view sourced?) and got the text. Is it just me? Roger (in RTP,
just curious)

Hmmm. What about people who choose to have a certain set of smart tags
enabled? Users can control which smart tag handlers are enabled or
disabled (any or none).

IMHO, I (as a web developer) wouldn't want to force my opinions on users
by disabling smart tags via meta tags. Since I (as a user) choose which
smart tag handlers to enable and disable, it would kinda irk me if web
developers presumed I did not want to use my smart tags.

Just a thought...
