Would you do us a favor and use a URL shortener in your browser? Lots
of us follow and it's a PITA to try to get all the text from wrapped
lines every tie. Why your posts don't stay whole I don't know, Joe.
The works for most everyone else's posts. shrug

It works as this often the arguments on this is passing other information.
Many pages on sites are excessively long - showing search paths and user ID...

I figured out what it is. Your damned MAC symbols aren't as robust as
M$ Windoze symbols. Do they make Boost for MACs?

Symbols? Aren't these all in a standard ISO character set? This does not vary
by platform type.

Which symbol sets work and which do not work for you? The newsreader can be
told which set to use.

What does "Boost" do? (The name is too common a word to google for.)


I'm also running into a non-technical problem - the WSJ seems to now be putting
stuff I used to post pointers to behind a paywall. I recall an article quoting
Robert Murdock (who owns the WSJ) saying that they (the newspapers) could not go
on giving content away. So we may be seeing implementation of a new policy.
I'll be digging.

Damned literalists, I swear. ;)

I had it set to US-ASCII. Trying Western Europe (codepage 1252)

Boost is one of the senior vitaminized milkshakes. Chocolate Geritol.

Thanks. I used to get the free feed, too, but I found that I was
wasting too much time following each thread and had to stop for my
sanity. Every once in awhile, they'd slip in a link to a page with a
paragraph on it and a link for the paid section if you wanted to view
the whole article.

Well, I'm still semi hooked. Though I drop out when the thread degenerates into
namecalling. People today just aren't that good at namecalling. Used to be
that one could not call oneself a genteleman if one could not curse someone out
for at least a half hour without repetition or profanity.

I quite following the emailed links I've been getting for years for the same reason. Fwiw,
they started it back a long time before murdock with John Funds pieces iirc.

What is the use of subtlety if the audience doesn't comprehend your wit? :)
