Notice how the foreign reader users will all bitch and whine about format
of post now?

How do you define "foreign" in this application? And what are
you considering "native"?

Note that Usenet came into existence long before the PC (let
alone Windows) was on the market, and most newsreading was done in unix
systems, or DEC's VMS or various other systems -- and usually read on
plain ASCII terminals -- not via a GUI interface, and especially not
with a web browser.

So based on this, I would consider whatever *you* are using
(apparently some new Windows program) to be more foreign.

It's a riot watching these Agent and Mozerella users try to
decode a post that isn't formatted perfectly. Then the fights break out
'cause they all confused and want to cry about it...LOL

For that matter -- define "formatted perfectly"? Standard
nettequette guidelines call for lines no longer than the standard
terminal width (80 characters max, and usually 72 characters for
original text so there is room for a few layers of quoting before) among
many other things -- including the interleaved text with lots of
trimming form of posting often mis-called "bottom posting".

Enjoy,
DoN.
