I just watched the Flash tour of your 5th wheel. I just don't know where to
begin my comments on that. For starters, the two of you are genuinely funny
as hell. And you figured out how to put in a picture of Ren in with all
that. Priceless. For everything else, there's MasterCard. But I digress.
The scary thing is that the quality of what you did boarders on being
professional. The creativity displayed is near genius. Comedic timing
reminds me of Car Talk on NPR. I've seen lots of neat websites over the
years of people who RV but yours is the that flat out winner. I encourage
anybody who loves to RV *and* has an edgy/quirky sense of humor to watch
this stuff. Solid entertainment. Well, I'm now going to watch the rest of
your Flash presentations. Oh Dacrons, I bow in humble deference to your
wit. I'm amazed (and grateful) to know people like you exist in this world.


Since you got netkopped about your posting style, here are the suggestions.
That's all they are. It is a free country and you can do as you wish.

It IS recommended that one posts to USENET only in ascii. Some servers will
dump HTML or binary messages in text only newsgroups.

In OE do the following:

1. Choose Tools, Options.
2. Click on the Send Tab.
3. At the bottom of the window choose Plain Text for News Sending Option.
4. Click on the Plain Text Settings Button and choose "Automatically wrap
text at..." Choose 76 or less characters.

It also is recommended to not top post. Again, your choice.

Bottom posting is an artifact from the REALLY old days of ARPANET that
carried over to today. Early readers would just display the message file
with no formatting. Additionally, when replying, messaging software could
only append new data to the end of the file.

Of course, it is now just a societal convention. Everyone insists because
everyone insists. Many efficiency studies have shown that appending replies
to the top of an electonic message make reading more efficient. It's
similar to the way that the Government and Military treat replies to written
memos. They are stapled to the top of the stack.

Other views WILL vary.
