Time for my weekly rant! <rant>

I have just tried to download a document from the web site of my local MEP only to find its in bloody MS Word Format!

Now this is a theme I am seeing recuring across the web, people feeling that it is perfectly acceptable to publish things in the appalling format that is MS word documents!

I have just emailed the web master of the site to request they stop doing it but think its pissing in the wind. This means more and more people will find it acceptable. Even tho Post script and PDF are perfectly acceptable and free formats with freely available readers which don't rely on the monopoly.

next step is to request

your.page.is.using.a.non.free.format.for.publishing.documents.this.is.restrictive.please.stop.it

and see what they do!

Ok rant over </rant>

Thanks
