ps030805 (aka noname, nocall),

You should 'standardize' the line length before you try side-posting.  The
following message is very confusing.

The key to top posting is to reply in complete, logical sentences - anything
else produces garbage.  For those who are not willing to construct responses
in complete sentences, I am not willing and able to to decipher
foreshortened comments (I find most of the bottom or in-line comments are
really just  trivial stuff anyway).  I ask how many posts have you seen with
no additional comment?  I know I have seen at least 5 in the last 3 days -
one scrolls down on a comment in an interesting thread and finds nothing has
been added - what a waste of time and bandwidth - think of those who read
this reflector in digest form.

OK guys and gals, this is getting very close to the neverending
discussion of which way the toilet paper should roll.  The PS030805 post
is ingenious and creative, except it didn't format well for me, as you
can see below, which I've truncated for bandwidth (and sanity)
preservation.  It may format even worse the second time around.  Since
I'm sure it was tongue-in-cheek, I don't think Paul will mind.

Thanks to all for the contacts in the CQP.  I was at N6A in Alpine
County on CW.  Almost got blown off the mountain, but we did manage
1,152 unaudited QSO's.

  The problem is that 'word processor' techniques
are prevalent in email these days, even if the
email is plain text.   People just type and let
their local line wrap make it seem as if it's
formatted.
  The worst comes when someone with a line wrap
in their sending software wraps a quote that was
properly formatted by the original sender.
   There's nothing to do about advancing lowering
of standards and etiquette - it's just entropy.

Having it run to another core in the horizontal plane allows the addition of a
small electric motor to act as a generator, which then could mean a whole new
contest CDTPG.

The CDTPG awards will be based on the longest amount of QSO time divided by
output power of the rig, then divided by the number of charge cylinders used
during the contest.

PETA exemption certificates are available for download.
