   Nope, that's an excellent job. Is that exactly as it came out or did you     
   do a bit of tickling up?   
      
   I'm asking because I tried it out with a short paragraph and it came out     
   looking like a dog's dinner.

   I would NOT advise using the XPOINT echo for that purpose as it's actually     
   a gated *German* newsgroup. Some sort of versioning system, such as git or     
   svn, would be a far better way of handling it IMO.
