As Bowerbird is only too happy to point out: “Please feel free to go somewhere else!” jim, jim, jim. i'm just about the only person here who has any sympathy with what you are saying, and who is interacting with you in good faith, so why you be stabbin' me in da back like that?
don't put words in my mouth. i never said anything like that. indeed, i have often advocated that p.g. e-texts should retain the linebreaks from the original, just like you've advocated, for the same reason. likewise, long before anyone else cared about it, i argued that lines which should not be rewrapped should be prefaced with one or more spaces, so they could easily be treated correctly during rewrap. i've also asked, repeatedly, for the plain-text files to include the names of the graphics, so that my viewer-apps could display them at the right place, which i assume is a practice you would also support. moreover, i am the only person here who has set up a website that people can use to unwrap the e-texts:
so don't be raggin' on me, ok? -bowerbird
