      From: eikelan@apu201.elan.com.py              Hi y'all!       Just for your information,       lines longer than 78 characters make it uncomfortable for me       to read otherwise very interesting posts, since I still use       a conventional news-reader like slrn on a terminal.       Panning is possible but as I said: uncomfortable.       That is why usenet etiquette mentions:              RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines October 1995               - Limit line length to fewer than 65 characters and end a line        with a carriage return.              This is even more restrictive than what I politely asked for, namely       78chars. I'm no usenet-police, just a reader speaking in my behalf.              I'm sorry to have ruffled a few feathers. As I said, your posts are       interesting and most welcome.              Have a nice day and keep up the good work.       Eike ZP6CGE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
