I did like your pictures, or at least I appreciate the skill and talent you have. *Not really my taste, though. *I admit I'm thrown off by the watermarks, but understand where you are coming from. *Good luck with your sales.

Thanks for the suggestions and the complement and well wishes.

Now if someone will suggest that Otter set his line width to about 72,
we'll *compliment* him.

Hmmm, why? I used to have a fixed length line, but then they would wrap at odd places and look weird, depending on how big a window you use. So now I let the program handle the wrap for me.

Wrap at odd places? Almost all posters here use a fixed line length
but are not bothered by odd breaks.

As to "Why?", the answer is "courtesy".

Sorry, not changing again.

Up to you.

It's because most (all?) newsreaders lack the ability to do the word wrap
before applying the quoting character. When the quoted line wraps, the
continuations don't show the quoting character, sometimes making it a bit
harder to see the extent of a quote.

Not a big deal, though you'll be known to all as the perpetrator of a cosmetic
nuisance. As long as others are interested in what you have to say, they may
grouse a bit, but they won't stop reading your articles.
