You are in luck. You can post anything you want and nobody will see it
because we don't open HTML in a text group.

<p>Why not? Do you do the same for web pages?</p>
<p>You need to stop reading crap posted by idiots on these
newsgroups saying HTML is "insecure" and very risky. HTML is just
plain text and it can be compared with any text you write in
Notepad or VS Code text editor.</p>
<p>Nobody has come out with proper explanation why HTML is bad in
newsgroups. Risk is one explanation they came out with but that
has been debunked! <br>
