That's what I figured he was referring to with his quotes from
earlier in
the thread, but everything looks fine on my end. I don't see any
choices of
settings within Google Groups, and I've been posting via Google for
ages
without complaints. (Hell, I used to **** people off with another
newsreader
because I had my character-width set too *narrow*. :-)

Anyhow, if it causes a problem, I'll try to remember to do manual
returns.
(FWIW, I added hard returns throughout the previous paragraph, and it
looks
screwy in "preview" mode in Google, while when I remove them, it looks
fine.)

Don't listen to Kenny, if he has problems followin' what you have written,
let his anal little ass *try* figure it out. Your posts were just fine 'til
ya began messin' with'em.

Yep. Came over on my newsreader okay until then. Maybe it's a
newsreader disjunction on the other end rather than a posting
disjunction on yours, Conan?

BTW, ever read any of the Pratchett books with a character in them
named Cohen the Barbarian? He leads the Silver Horde in the latter
ones. When first introduced, he's about 90 something and when his
Horde is gathered, they're all about the same age. "...but they are
very _old_ barbarians." "Did you think about what that means?
They've lived through attacks by everything. They've got experience."

That's what I was curious about. From the followups, it appears
that my posts read fine on most newsreaders, but are incompatible with
what Ken and Richard are using.

And that's the conundrum -- do I edit things to make them read
better for Ken and Richard, or for everyone else (myself included)?

In this case, I may go back to the last unanswered post of mine and
re-post it. I'd hate for Richard not to have a chance to respond to
it. :-)

That's great. :-) OK, so I'll have to add that to the reading
list.

OK, here's my hand-edited version of my previous post.
Hopefully your newsreader can handle it, but I make no
promises to do this every time.

That said, if I understand your points, your think
Limbaugh's false characterizations are worse than Ivins
because they don't involve making fun of accents or physical
traits. OK, whatever floats your boat.

Just to help set you straight: I said that Limbaugh spends
a good portion of his time setting up strawmen and knocking
them down, and misrepresenting his opponents. This is in
addition to his tendency to engage in schoolyard tactics to
describe those to the left of him that are little more than
namecalling.

I also mentioned that he "is fed" (to use your term) by
right-wingers such as Cheney, Ailes and other "luminaries".
(None of which you have deemed important enough to comment on.)

You also believe that the "independent" review panel was both
independent and thorough. Again, OK, whatever floats your
boat. It was neither "independent" or "thorough," and I'm
fairly certain I knew the results of it before many did.

Ah, so you still haven't bothered to look at it.

As to your assertion that I find it both "independent" and
"thorough" -- once again you are playing around with strawmen.
I never intimated either, and I even suggested you might read
it because it is in fact *not* in favor of Rather.

Then, you defend Ivins by pointing out that her column is on
the editorial page. However, she calls herself a journalist
when it's beneficial to her and falls back on being "a op-ed
columnist" when it's necessary, even mixing the usage in such
a way that would make serious journalist laugh, and apparently
such self-serving waffling has worked on at least one, you.

Condescension doesn't become you.

I'm no fan of hers, as I've made that clear throughout this
thread. I know what she is and what she represents.

One thing I find interesting is that many who lambaste
Limbaugh cite Ivins and vice-versa, when the truth is they are
both self-serving, self-important bozos, neither of whose
"work" sensible people ought to take in the least bit
seriously.

And that explains why Rush is so favored among bigtime
right-wingers.

Thanks for admitting that.

The word "experience" still wrapped in the text he quoted. The issue is probably
with Agent. FWIW

"If you thought winter was over because of the mild weekend temps, oh no...
This week promises to be almost as exciting as last week. Our "George
Blanda" winter continues.
High pressure is in control today--but pleasant. But clouds increase this
afternoon as a storm rolls across the Gulf States. Expect snow to begin
around midnight (maybe light rain briefly at onset in valleys). Snow
continues well into Wednesday. Snow totals for the event should be in the
4"-8"+ range and elevation dependent. After that storm gets out of the way,
another low forms in it's wake Thursday giving us another round of snow.
This could bring as much snow than storm #1 because it will be colder and
every flake will accumulate ("snow on snow"). A third low tracks to our
north Saturday with a chance of light rain or snow. Whew!!! Sunday is a
tweener but temperatures become milder."

Oh yeah, this is gonna be another one of those fishin' trips!

Make sure to bring plenty of dry matches, kindling, and a water-proof
sleepin' bag.

What I did was hand-edit it putting in hard returns.

So, now you should be able to respond to my re-post elsewhere in
this thread where I did the same with my previous post.

Let me know if you need help finding it.
