fun fact about “Rich Text Format”
it’s not called that to mean “enriched”, or to contrast with “plain” text. The format was designed by a guy named richard. it’s literally Richard’s Text Format

@zens To think that in a parallel universe, it’s called Dave Text Format!

@futzle i think the parallel universe where it’s called Dick Text Format (DTF) is funnier

@zens I shall refer to it hencefort as Rich’s Text Format

@zens lines up with my theory that anyone who names a temp file “dave.c” (fsvo dave) is a dangerous fool.

@zens i REALLY want to believe this, and have no reason to doubt it other than “internet”. I can find any anecdotes anywhere though! Do you know of any?

@zens i want to doubt you but the name of one of the three guys who developed RTF is Richard Brodie
