If the plain-text version comes up earlier than the embellished one, the audience would benefit from having an early access to a long-anticipated continuation or a brand new project, and from the perspective of the catastrophically lazy people(like myself, time to time), a couple of extra mouse clicks to bring up the pdf. download can be a deciding factor in choosing one's text sources.

I can't deny that Midnight Snack turned into an interesting character, even to me. That's why I was compelled to put out that quick study of him. Glad you enjoyed it!

And thanks for the input.
