      Mark Lewis:       AS>> Jam NNTPD seems to increase all non-zero indents in       AS>> a message by increasing them by one. This, at       AS>> least, is what I experience. How do you perceive       AS>> this text:       ML> these lines appear to be justified and wrapped at 52       ML> characters...              That's right, by experiment I have found this the most com-       fortable width for me. Lines longer than 60 characters seem       to me too long, in good accord with the "ten words per line"       rule from typography.              ML> that's "a bit" small on this 190 column wide terminal       ML> screen :/              I never let the text take the whole width of a wide-scree       monitor. I don't think that hard-wrapped text shoud ever be       allowed to have more that 78 characters per line, and       "flowed" is not a universally suppoted format.              If my formating sore annoys people I shall have to reconsid-       er it.              Your super-wide terminal screen must be great for rugue-like       and other text-mode but not text-based games.              ---        * Origin: *** nntp://fidonews.mine.nu *** Finland *** (2:221/6.0)    |
