   Probably the main bar to my contribution is the tendency of the
software to strip out line feeds and carriage returns, or whatever the
heck it does so that whatever you cut and paste into the window comes
out as one giant paragraph (unless you know HTML?).

   When I submitted the Ground Zero environmental impact article several
months ago, some poor guy on the other end had to go through and
reformat it.  For which I'm very grateful, even if I've forgotten your
name, dude.

  Did this ever get fixed?  Are there tech limits to forbid it or
something?  Or was I just too dumb to get it, and there's a better
procedure?   -CMB
