| 178138 | 2003-09-26 07:30:00 | Billy T have you been sick? youve been in hospital you say ? hope you are feeling better now, and the likely hood of being able to tell something of future or past fortune's may be sorely tested due to amount of smell wouldnt you say? and if it was told i feel it would be short and straight to the point dont you? like maybe you stink? or something? :D have a nice weekend all. beetle |

I think it must be something at his end seeing as it stays in the same position even though there is now a "Re: " added to the front. So it can't be to do with spacing for width reasons. |

| 178142 | 2003-09-26 23:18:00 | Well, I will have to try this one the next opportunity I get - there is no shortage of smelly fish offal around here during the summer . If it works I could even stockpile some in the freezer for the leaner winter months . :D Actually, now that I remember, I think I did have a rather successful fortune-telling session that last time I accidentally took some smelly "fish bait" out of the freezer instead of the beef stew that I thought was in that container . I accurately predicted that I wasn't cooking the tea that night! :p :D > Where do those hard spaces come from dude . > Do you type it up somewhere else first? Yes, I believe that Billy does but it is strange that it produces those spaces . It didn't use to . [b] "Hope you have recovered from your quick stay in hospital Billy, and that the nurses looked after you better than I do . :-) |

| 178143 | 2003-09-27 02:39:00 | It is something in the PF1 programming robo, it doesn't matter whether you enter the text manually or copy and paste, it inserts a line break at about the same position every time (after the 30th character and where the subject field inserts a line break). Usually I can rework the text to put it where it won't be noticed. I don't think it is just me, I use three different computers to post WFTWE and I've seen it on other posts too. The reason it appears to turn up more on my posts is that I write an intro to every WFTWE and tend to use all of the available space. Cheers Billy 8-{) :( [b][pre]Thanks to those who enquired after my health, it was day-stay surgery for a minor complaint and the main injury is to my bank balance. I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat for a few weeks though :O |
