[snip of the rest]

Your really really WIDE image didn't go over so well in the newsgroup
connection....

I use the following line as a guide for width of picture (you're going
to have to copy and paste it into a text document, using COURIER or
MONACO font, because I see you are with AOL and AOL is so silly about
enforcing the use of the ARIAL font.) 

---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6-----

I try to keep my picture under 65 characters wide just so that when they
are posted, they don't get bad line wrapping.

These are the characters you can use for universal posting. Please use a
non-proportional font such as COURIER or MONACO.

I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing your much much narrower
pictures in the newsgroup.

Bummer...!
i would imagine that either AOL or your reader or somehow, somewhere, something
 introduced carriage returns into it...! and it would make just about anyone
 crazy trying to remove the appropriate ones, and leaving the necessary
 ones...!!!

oh well...

as the the suggestion or critizism that it be in Arial (?) font or ( eh? ) i
 don't know what that means...it seems irrelivant to me, if it needs to me in
 some specific font on your computer, it seems that it should be a trivial
 matter to switch it to that font...

???

and so on...
