I remember this happening to me once, when desktop publishing tools first
arrived on the scene, and bosses and secretaries were spitting out
newsletters with over 30 different fonts. They looked like ransom notes.
It's embarrassing to say the least. In my case, once put out, the
newsletters survived until a "new and improved" alternative was produced by
someone in the company. Perhaps....you could create an alternative that
blows them away so far, the won't be back in a......flash.
