[snip lots more stuff]

Well, that's all well and good, but I'm not going to
go through all the trouble of downloading mail messages
from MDLUG and running them through a gawk script and so on,
just to read some posts with really long lines in them.
I have better things to do with my time (though it may not
seem that I do :) ). No, I'll wait for that elusive
10-year-old programmer to fix Firefox/Opera/mailman/whatever.

Actually, it's only a handful of people on the list who use
the long lines. Usually, when I see those kinds of long lines
I don't even read the post.

Oh no, don't open that can of worms. We've been down that road before.

PostScript is far superior to HTML. I say we use that. :)
