Why is the Eiffel Tower floating in the latest episode? In Space Pilot it doesn't float...

Aster

Wizard... Wait, no! That only applies to the Simpsons! Hhhmmmm... Let's think here... Eiffel Tower... didn't float before... floats now... hobgoblins? no, they're not magical... wraiths? nah, they're really just etheral so they wouldn't be able to move things that large... tower... floats... never used to... genie? no way, then we'd be asking "well who rubbed the lamp and made the wish?" and that would just be too complicated... Ah, I've got it!!! I hope someone got fired for that blunder...

Thank you, I'll be here all week, try the veal!

Would you PLEASE fix your fucking line wrap?

This is a siggy | To E-mail, do note | This space is for rent It's properly formatted | who you mean to reply-to | Inquire within if you No person, none, care | and it will reach me | Would like your ad here

Since one else seems to have this problem with my posts and since you've been so delighfully polite in asking, I'm pretty much going to leave it the way it is.

Certainly not my fault your NG reader can't properly parse my line breaks...

And it's the second time you were an asshole about it. Let me pretend I care that you're going to pretend not to read any more of my posts...

Again, just because your NG reader sucks, doesn't mean everyone else has to change the way they post to please you.

Yeah, but I'm the dick... OK... Thanks for playing...

It's annoying, but I didn't bother to complain before because it didn't seem worth the effort. But it would be nice of you if you did correct it.

Offhand, I'm pretty sure the standard is for the original formatting of the messages to be correct.

Interesting, it looks good on this (sylpheed) as well as netscape (4.76, 4.79 and 6.1.2), but I've now changed it to force a linewrap on compose rather than after it sends. Any better?

Yes, much better. Without linewrap, I had to scroll through one giant line. Now I can read it like any normal post. I am using Agent 1.91.

Keep in mind, the only reason people would want you to change your format is that they want to read your posts. If your posts weren't worth reading, no one would care.

Thanks,

Larry

I certainly do.

Can't properly parse them if they're not properly set in the first place.

Maybe it was done in the chronoton phase, when no one remembers exactly what they were doing in the inbetween times.
