Hi, Anton! Recently you wrote in a message to All:

I didn't see any line on my screen which ran over 72 characters
here, although my software can handle up to 80. I'm not at all concerned
about lines which are shorter than what you intended because I think that
makes them easier for less fluent speakers of English to interpret. If the
lines are longer than what you intended, or if other people's software omits
words such as "not" when a line is quoted & requoted, I consider that to be a
more serious issue.
IOW, what appeared at 1:153/716 in Vancouver is fine with me.... :-)
