Understood.  That is one reason I am asking how my posts look to you. Does
my last post from the "brits on the beach" search quote okay now?

There are a number of formats but I chose text since anything I ever use
works fine with text.

I imagine so.  Never had any issues before this but posting it to the bbs
does have issues with urls longer than 79 characters.  When I didn't indent
it and posted the url on it's own line I noticed the bbs's messaging dealie
tacked on a null character at the 80th position and then carried on the
remainder on the next line.  All lines are null terminated which is the
standard for strings for most decent applications. Somewhat useable in this
case but nothing I use will split lines no matter how long - actually I
believe there is a limit but well over 32,000 characters - so the original
wasn't split.  I do preformat so that DOS based offline editors don't crop
off any characters but that doesn't always work.  Yours seems fine with my
evil, demented plan.

I never checked.  I wasn't that curious about the actual event given I am
not a Brit, don't care about cars, and it isn't on Guy Fawkes Day. The
French based "Brits on the Beach" was oddly curious, but other
than posting the Google hit here to check if I did that one correctly for
your offline thingy, I didn't check that one out either.  Should I? What it
had to say in the hit was enough methinks.  

Life is good,
Maurice
