No, I'm not:-)
Ron claimed or at least I read him as claiming that htags was not very
useful without system web browsing.
I've said that I'm not commenting on the technical issues, so since I
was talking to Ron, I took that claim as a postulate.
You've disagreed with that claim elsewhere in the thread.
While I do have an opinion, I was not intending to inject it.
