You might be getting that problem when other posters try to quote me or edit
my posts. I know how to edit the posts so I don't miss-attribute posters but
other people obviously don't know how that'd done. As it goes, it's better
to not write within quoted lines when using Google Groups. Everything comes
out nice and pretty looking that way. See what I mean?

Of course, if you're reading this the old school way, you're in for a nasty
experience.

==

I don't get the complaint at all. Your lines are long but they don't go
over the end of my page. Maybe it is the fault of the pages of the
receivers.

Your post above mine, is exactly the way I get it. I have changed nothing.
