   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.
