\_ David, you should know that I meant to cause you no flak in that comment.
Oh, I wasn't worried about it. Now, if you had called me slimeball,
well then I might have thought about getting upset. Maybe. :-) But
that'd have been out of character. I'd probably have called you and
suggested somebody was forging email. :-)
\_ You make me laugh. Some of the stuff you come up with just cracks me up.
\_ Not sure if that quote in your signature came from you....but thats the
\_ kind of stuff that cracks me up.
I think I pulled that one off of a bugzilla someplace, but I could be
wrong. I try to attribute where I've taken things out of context,
annad that's unatrributed in my quotes file.
\_ Back to the 80 character limit....... :-) I never did know why that
\_ was the case.
In the good ol' days, MUAs didn't wrap well, as Craig's already pointed
out. I've got F12 bound to a lisp function that toggles line
truncation in the current buffer, which copes admirably well in all
situations, since not all auto-wrappers are smart enough to preserve
proper nested attribution marks (whatever they happen to be) when
reformating. That and I'm too lazy to make emacs cope in said
situations. :-)
