Judy, Always a joy to hear from you and I sincerely apologize for any interruption my Shanghaing of subject lines may have caused to your "life in the the archives”.

Reminds me a bit of the alcoholic that insists on “Russian Standard� rather than “Smirnoff�, I don’t gossip because I care about the politics I write about. I really care about my opinions so how could it be gossip. ----- Here's how a paragraph from yet another of your posts looks on the Web site--you're quoting Curtis: ----- It is not just the fun bags giving you trouble.  It is the specific hip to waist ratio that plugs into our genetic preferences.  That is what says "fertility".  The bad news for men is that chicks have a pre-programmed shoulder to waist ratio that is highly unforgiving of an over fondness for La Querche Prosciutto.  When you lose that wedge look you don't  get that automatic head snap from the ladies anymore.  This is why I perform sitting down!  I have discovered another formula that seems to be in play.  If a man's stomach protrusion is equalled by how far his wallet extends behind him, he can still pull the hotties.  This ratio seems to have been instilled later in our evolution as a species. ----- Another annoyance is the header information that gets put into many people's posts (including this one from you): ________________________________ From: curtisdeltablues <curtisdeltablues@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 9:43:18 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Managing an attractive young woman with large breasts The annoyance is that it takes up the entire Message View snippet of text from the post. Also, posts that have this header don't have quote prefixes except (sometimes) one at the beginning of the paragraph instead of one in front of every line. The workarounds (e.g., "Response:") that these posters insert manually to distinguish what they've written from what they're quoting become a pain in the neck in exchanges that continue for several rounds. Combine that with broken lines when folks use word wrap, and these conversations can be almost impossible to read. When I want to contribute something, I may end up spending more time reformatting what I'm responding to so it's readable than actually writing. One good thing about your new approach, Bob, is that the type size is large enough that I don't have to squint. But the garbage characters are really maddening. Not only is it hard to read past them, they disrupt the continuity of the writing.
