[FRIAM] Lardy Lardy!

You mean my larding doesn’t look like this?

 



 

Could somebody send me a screen shot of how it comes out on your computer?

I fixed the larding for you. 8^D

"If you feed a man some lard.... 

    ...but if you *teach* a man to lard... "  

I don't know what mailtool Nick uses but the style of lardation (my coinage, rhymes with "tarnation") Nick affects seems just downright hazardous to the reader!   

[NST===>What!?  It’s designed to be the ultimate in reader friendliness.  If you guys would get off your text only schtik and dirty your skirts with a little html muck you would see how supremely incisive and convenient my larding is.  <===nst] 

It seems that it is upon one of the Santa Fe denizens to sit down cheek-to-jowl (N95-to-Bandana) with Nick and help him learn one of the conventional idioms for text-larding.

My own Larding may be faulty I realize because I let it flow from what is easy with Thunderbird (my mail tool of choice) and since I (re)read my own material in Thunderbird I would never know if it renders uglified elsewhere/weiz.

The UNIX mailtool technique/support I grew up with was simply to add a series of > like a shell prompt at the start of each line which might or might not include a prefix unique identifier:

 

>>>line from message three iterations back

>> line from message 2 iterations back (presumably in response to the line above)

> line from previous message with two "greater than" '>' symbols

or

GEPR>>>>some statement

NST>>> some rephrasing of/commentary on the above statement

GEPR>> pithy retort

SASS > dumbass interjection oblique to pithy retort to rephrasing of some statement

current final response to the above by the current correspondent as indicated in mail header

HTML formatting editors (including T-Bird) seem to do their alternative well enough, but I could be biased.
