This is a test post to see if my lines go on and on with no soft returns, so you have to scroll horizontally from here to East Tanzania to get to the end of the line. I've seen this happen before with other people. When you're typing it up, oh sure it looks fine, the soft returns are all there and it looks all nice and pretty. But when you post the message and then read it off the newsgroup the whole goldang message is on about 2 or 3 lines, and it disappears off the side of the window and you as I said have to scroll horizontally for 400 miles to get to the end of the line. The only time a new line starts is if you hit the return key to start another paragraph. I guess that's a better way to describe it: Each paragraph is on one line. Here's a new paragraph:
If this happens it is not only irritating to whomever is trying to read your message, it also makes you look like a complete idiot. I'm using Grabit, which is free, so I can't complain (even though you can't post binaries with it), so before I post for real I'm dang well going to make sure I don't look like an idiot. I may have to do hard returns after each line.
In fact why don't I kill two birds with one stone (so to speak) and, starting here, put in hard
returns after each line to see how that looks compared to what I've written above here earlier.
It's getting hard to think up stuff to babble about to fill up these lines but if I concentrate I can
babble enough to fill several lines. Shall I start on a rant about overpopulation and big brother?
How about my life story? Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party and
mares eat oats and... aw, forget it...
