    Steverino, if you are going to post lots of links, could
    you set your news client so that it doesn't automatically
    break lines at 76 characters even when there is no whitespace?
    It mangles all the URLs onto two lines. Thanks.

    When the URL is enclosed in angle brackets it can often
    survive line wraps.

    setting for this is in t-bird?

    Edit->preferences->advanced->config editor, and look through the
    settings (equivalent to about:config in firefox). For the record, I set
    the variable news.wrap_long_lines to false and it doesn't fix this issue.

    Not that I'd want to click on one of Fat Stevie's retarded links.

    "Can often survive line breaks." Sorry about
    Thunderbird. URL's do not survive line quoting.

    Yes they do. However, they are just not reconstructed from being wrapped
    over multiple lines by hard returns. No setting, alas.

    So it is. I had not noticed it until you mentioned it:
    these URL's do survive quoting.

    The RBR rule is to use angle brackets if you think that Ewoud will be
    readig the threa. Otherwise not.

    If you think Ewoud will be reading the thread you should also top post and
    mention Andy Hampsten famous win when it snowed on the Gavia. He even
    trolls himself about the latter.

    I KNOW I'm waaay out of the loop, JT. But just how common have these
    "anatomic" bars become?

    Almost every "stock" racing bike in the US comes with anatomic bars.

    Since we start with a frame and spec and build the bike at Vecchio's,
    customers get to choose and most choose round bars, not anatomic.

    He's pretty quiet about Lemond's win in the Lac de Vassivière TT to
    take his Tour victory in 1990. He never mentions that at all.
