I think Jim is referring to the script language in Ken's reply:

SCRIPT language=javascript
if (!ccTest('DH_FREE'))
document.write("stylespan.cc603622 {display:inline!important}/style");
else document.write("stylespan.cc603622
{display:none!important}/style");
/SCRIPT

The script language is not needed in a newsgroup message.

Hi Jim

I am interested in knowing why scripting is bad. If it is, I need to
ensure that it is disabled on my computer.
Thanks

Ken:

Please stop using that scripting example to post. You can take the text
from any article and paste it into Notepad, then from there into your
message. Scripting is disabled on many computers these days and all your
reply does is throw up "scripting errors." HTML is really not needed for
posting that information. Thanks.
