| (...) On the well-behaved e-mail clients, yes. On the worse clients, they jam a whole paragraph into a single line. I saw one which resulted in a line 890 characters long.(!) (...)

Brick Battles is still under the .gaming hierarchy, even though that hierarchy has moved. Thanks for saving me (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.gaming)

I understand exactly what you're asking Bill, but to hope/expect that Todd will comply and answer is a bit much to ask IMHO! :) --==Richard==-- (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.people, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.curators)

Ah, but you have to understand that most forums (and whether you think of LUGNET as a forum or not, most newcomers are introduced to it via the web archive, which reads like a more traditional form) require that you sign up as a member prior (...)
