   I post via Google Groups and have been openly attacked by the line break   
   thing. Hard to believe people get their panties in such a twist over it.   
   People clenching onto 'unwritten rules' of a communication platform that's   
   been dead for some 15 years.    
   Since my ISP shut down its news server, and most public free servers don't   
   retain a lot of history, GG is just a better fit for me. USEnetters should be   
   happy that Google Groups existence allows an audience to participate in   
   otherwise a hallowed boneyard.
