Hey Nancy!

 NB> And less now... ;)

I see 27 days as I reply to you.

 NB> you think is the problem with it anyway.... ;)

That is probably correct.  From all the discussions we've had in the past I am 
assuming you will always see line lengths of 80 characters or less.  As I type 
this I can look down and see on the editor's status line that this particular 
line is 260 characters.

Doing an 80 character line wrap - I use coreutils's fold command - you will 
probably see the above as 4 lines and it will look something like below;

-={ ye olde cut and paste starts }=-

However from your perspective the cut and paste is more than likely exactly the 
same as the original.  Probably a better example would be to split the 260 
character line to 60 characters to see a difference;

That *should* look different and perhaps illustrate the greater power in 
unlimited line lengths within messages in order to facillitate differing line 
lengths of various displays.  In my case line the monitor I am currently using 
is 160 characters wide so a message that forces line lengths to 80 is a waste 
of an awesome terminal.

 NB> We've been getting a mix of sometimes rain sometimes light snow

No snow yet, light or otherwise.  :-)

 NB> Mountains tend to collect snow, though....  ;)

As well as dump their loads on unsuspecting people below.  As far as I know 
that has never happened locally.

Life is good,
Maurice
