I wasn't asking for help, I just sent a message with my ideas about the disadvantages of the editor of TB, and I get a sarcastic reply suggesting that I'm a kind of idiot who can't see how easily this "perceived problem" can be circumvented. > Your message before this one seemed to be an opinion, rather than a > request for assistance. That's right, I understood that there was no solution for me, and I gave also the reasons for that. But now I get a comment implying that my problem is more or less imaginary, if I just know how to use all the features of TB. My only comment was that it would be more helpful to say *how* you can circumvent the problem than just snigger about those dumb people who have problems with this feature. > This message was in reply to a message where the author is celebrating > having found a solution to a problem which you said in your earlier > message didn't really affect you much. What problem? The pasting of text in the editor? I said at least that that didn't bother me much, so why then the sarcastic reaction on my mail? That would then be quite beside the point. I thought I missed a solution for my no-wrapping-after-rewriting problem, but now you suggest it is only about pasting text (at least that is what I understand). > IOW's please revise what the problem is. What I mentioned in my previous mail, that I have to use <alt> L continuously when I write a message, while I often make corrections in the text. > Your insights into the auto-format feature and its limitations are > accurate. > The TB! editor cannot be made to behave in a way that you wish it to. > This is probably why you haven't had a response on this list to your > comment. Neither did I expect a comment, I wasn't asking a question. But then I got a reaction implying that I was so dumb that I couldn't see the solution to my problem. Well, that is not the attitude I expect on this list, and *that* is what I said in my previous message. I'm amazed that you now are criticizing MY attitude in that regard.
