Hi all,
Ik see so many bulletins with junk forwarded from the Internet where
the sender couln't even be bothered to format the bulletins so the
lines stay within the 78 characters per line that can be displayed
in standard DOS mode without the line wrapping over. Basically then
to have part of thetext simply scroll out of the top of the screen
because there are so many lines below that use up two...
Or senders who simply could't be bothere to format te text in a way
that it only has characters from the standard ASCII common characters
without all the other crap that simply can't be displayed in a DOS
screen.....
BTW, I've also seen people just typing a mbulletin where they simply
couln't be bothered to give a return, line feed within 80 characters..
Maybe it is a good idea to send out simething that everyone can read
without having to do difficult.
Rgs, Angela

I am opposed to my bulletins being placed on systems where these bulletins
can be publicly accessed by anyone, including search engines and spambots,
from the Internet, without that the user first has to logon to have access
to the system!
Having Packet bulletins on display on so many systems, where the sysops
think these bulletins are so important for the people outside of Amateur
Radio that they need to have access to them, quite often indefinitely, is
just ridiculous Internet polution!
