Many years ago I went down to the oceanfront early morning during an
especially low tide. Thousands of dead sea horses on the sand. That was
an odd thing to see. I didn't even know that sea horses lived around here.

Another year....thousands of dead or dying starfish on the beach.

In both cases, no "experts" explained why those events happened.

Mr. High Tech Google Extroidinaire can't even read headers. He's
never even tried before he makes all these wild ass accusations.

Nobody on Google can read headers. We used to be able to, but a
recent "upgrade" removed that ability.

I'd understand if Google left Google Groups as crappy as it was,
Usenet being obsolete and all. But why spend resources on an upgrade
that made GG even worse? Also the removal of empty lines.

I suspect they did it so the GG interface could share more code with
Gmail, thus making it cheaper to maintain.

Outlook has an option (I think) to remove empty lines. I suspect there
some sort of connection in there somewhere.

That may be it.

Strange. Google posts already have a crazy long line length and now
they're also creating walls of unseparated text. Most people who use
GG have mental disabilities and this makes it even harder for them.

I don't see any crazy long line lengths that you constantly whine about. You should probably try taking care of your problems instead of crying over it. That's just some friendly big boy advice.

Most GG posts don't matter anyway. Cindy's do, but she controls the
line length herself. Yours do, but for those I bring lunch in case I
get hungry halfway the line.

Indeed Cindy does. I won't do it myself because I think forced carriage returns are as relevant as 24 hour carriage rental shops. Manually inserting formatting commands is never a good idea in this day and age of computer text formatting.

Your lack of courtesy to those whose newsreaders follow Usenet conventions

I love that line! Thank you, thank you! This shows your general lack of awareness of what goes on here. In fact, it's a world-class lack of awareness. A true Cindy-ism. I shall cherish that line forever!

I can deliberately be discourteous. You are discourteous through laziness

Respect must be earned. I am respectful toward those who have earned it.

Courtesy is a tool. It can be used or withheld as circumstances require.

So what's the big deal? I'm merely exercising my right to use courtesy as a tool of choice - same as you. Don't be such a big crybaby - man up!

The true number seems about half.

Google doesn't do outgoing word-wrap, or you don't have that set. Shame
on Google if they eliminated that polite feature.

I never see them. Most newreaders have an option to control word-wrap,
incoming and outgoing.

Bruce uses Eudora and that should have the same features.

The only time I see your long scrolling lines are when I repond to you.
The quoted stuff retains the scrolling long lines.

No worries though. I deal with what I get.

Here on the mainland, we use the term: "be a big girl".

I use Agent. I can press O to make it shorten GG's lines. When I reply
it's a big mess, though. But there are bigger problems than a
rebellious child in RFC.

I think so. OTOH, it was my intention that my daughter be raised to be self-reliant and not to be a barbie doll. That's not the way it turned out - so much for parental plans. OTOH, when my wife and daughter saw a car hit an embankment and fly through the air and down the side of a mountain, my wife pulled over and my daughter jumped out of the car, ran down the hill to check on the guy and then climbed up the hill and screamed "Call 911!" The she went back down the hill to render aid. My wife and daughter will always stop and render aid. They're some pretty ballsy chicks alright.

A lot kids see things, think they see things or hear things and actually investigate those things without telling you. Then the kid surprises the parents years later. Who knows who's on the correct side of the fence?

I think that generally, people like to have members of my family around. It's kind of strange.

You're certainly right about that. The kids will always surprise you.

Yoose family is very special. Most dinks are, but white folks don't
appreciate them. Yoose should march, demonstrate and riot.

And keep up the whining.

If White Castles were 14 cents in 1970, and were subject to the average
level of inflation, they'd cost 94 cents in 2021. I used the McDonald's
app today, and paid $2 + tax for two hamburgers and a medium fries. A
McD's hamburger that cost 39 cents in 1977, *should* cost $1.66. The
minimum purchase for getting the Friday free fries was only $1, so I
could have gotten one burger & fries for $1 + tax.

I bought a whole chicken today for under $4, including sales tax. Food
is cheap these days, and not just meat. It's housing that's costly.

Cheap food is good food - even though it might make you feel ill. Unfortunately, food ain't cheap on this rock - even McDonald's. And you still feel ill.
Yesterday I went to KFC and got a 2 piece meal for 10 bucks. It had two breast pieces, mashed potatoes, a biscuit, and a drink. That was a wrong move on my part! The chicken was dry and unpleasant. The mashed potatoes were somehow waterlogged like it was pumped full of water. Weird. It was a pretty mentally depressing meal. I wanted to relive some happy days of the past when my dad would pick up a bucket of chicken and we'd be one happy family eating together. There was no family time quite as happy as when we'd eat KFC.. Those days are long gone.

That's pretty disgusting. Money can be important, but not THAT
important.

You're like those guys that put premium fuel in their low compression cars. It don't make your car run better, it just makes you feel special. To me, food is food is food.

But both cheap food and expensive food can be harmful. I try to buy
healthy no matter the price. I also splurge on occasion for something
that is really tasty. I just ordered some Cotswold cheese that is not a
sensible buy from a cost perspective, but I want it.

No matter how cheap food is, if I don't like it I don't eat it.
