Ok we all got high speed net now, let's forget proper formatting, readability and etiquette and just post how ever we feel like... Where will it end? One day you'll find yourself wading through hundreds of one liner messages with close to zero content to find yourself wishing there were some rules to posting on the net... Come on guys, how you post, how you edit, trim and arrange your mail creates an impression on the reader. I for one believe that impression should be a good one. A neat and tidily arranged message with good content and readability is important to me. Even if everyone did have high speed not (which they don't), the half a second it takes me to trim and move my cursor down is worth it to keep things tidy. You are all saying that it takes too much time but you're wrong. I guess you just haven't figured out how to do it right. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits, Modulator Kits, Powerlet, Centech, Posi-Lock, Parts. 1988 K100RS SE ABS in Japan. 1991 ST1100 in America.
