It was more a matter of convenience. It was easier to add a second <BR>
tag to imported text instead of deleting a <BR> and adding <P></P>. Keep
in mind though that this was quite a few years ago, before evolt was even
around. 
     The separation of content from presentation wasn't even a gleam in
anyone's eye, so there didn't seem to be any difference at the time. Since
then, I've had to change my coding habits and this one is one of the final
hold outs.
