While I agree that many meaningful postings to this group will require
substantial math, I'd like to see equations posted in a "plain text"
format rather than postscript, TeX, etc.  I'm primarily interested in the
content of the discussions, I have no (easy) way of converting encoded
equations while reading news, and no reasonable access to appropriate
printing facilities IF I were willing to print every article before
reading (which would also require some more general text formatting
conventions to identify what should be processed by what filters).

It would, however, be nice if we could all use some reasonable conventions
to express untypeble symbols (e.g. summation {sum(i[l,h]) eqn(i)}, greek).
