You're using a porportional font, you probably have HTML
enabled in your newsreader, and your column width or your
font size is set incorrectly. You didn't read the FAQ,
did you!

1. Turn off HTML in your newsreader.
2. Set your width to 79 columns.
3. Select a fixed-width (monospaced) font. The "Courier"
and "Lucida" font families are usually monospaced.
Make sure that you select a font -size- that's appropriate,
too (such as 14-point).

Here's a sample script of how to do it. ((( `\
Since you're obviously a clueless newbie, _ _`\ )
I'll repeat: TURN OFF HTML in your news- (^ ) )
reader! (Select "Plain Text.") Otherwise, ~-( )
you won't be able to see the script. You _'((,,,)))
shouldn't be reading newsgroups with HTML ,-' \_/ `\
enabled, anyway, d00d. ( , |
