Hm, 101 lines is quite deliberately? Yes, I use tin and tin doesn't display any html (I saw that as garbage, too). > > Any other newsgroup would flame those posters... > So you flamed me! *8-) Your posting was just "randomly" choosed - it's not to you only but to any other people quoting nearly anything... > > PLEASE, cut down quotings!!! > I leave in quoted material when I think it is essential for readers > to understand the response I am making. This is the sense and usage of quoting. But IMO 10 lines (instead of about 100) would have been enough to show anybody the garbage (and IMO nearly anybody could have a look at the original posting, anyway). > In this message I've quoted all _your_ original posting. This was ok (as my posting wasn't that long, anyway) > It would have not made much sense if I had only quoted this one > line for example... Yes, but 100 lines? (see above :) > BTW it is the Flaming Season right now with huge Solar flares. :-) BOFH, todays excuse?
