What's this? Three Yamahas in the top 4? A Kawasaki 5th? Biaggi 12th? Hayden 16th?

Oh, FFS! I set a fixed pitch font before I posted that! But it only lines up if I have fixed pitch font on when I read it. How's this look?
very much like a test post. *large* baileys please. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ Triumph 955iSS / GSF600 bandit MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22
Looked fine. [snip] Fucking awful. The text posted will only line up correctly in a fixed pitch font.
Shite. First one was ok. Interesting qualifying, how the hell is Rossi 2 seconds a lap faster than the 2nd row? Good show from Nakano.
the norm for Assen is Saturday. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ Triumph 955iSS / GSF600 bandit MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22
you don't really understand how Usenet works, do you? Or maybe you don't understand how proportional fonts work. Basically, no matter what font you set, it gets sent as plain text - if I'm reading something you posted in a proportional font, you have next to no control over how tab-formatted columns will display.
Religion. Being good Calvanists, the dutch used to have their bike sporting events on a Saturday - remember, the Dutch TT is one of the oldest events on the calendar, going back to the very beginning of the world championships. Of course, they probaboy could move it nowadays (and I expect there might be some commercial pressure to fall in line) , but it's become a tradition.
In this context, it seems not No, these I do understand Right. All content is transferred as 7-bit ascii, with no information about fonts. So, if you want to line up columns you're knackered cos you've no idea what font the reader wil view it in? So...why are people always having a pop at posters for not lining stuff up, when it's completely out of the poster's control?
by George I think he's got it[1]. The best you can do is use a fixed-pitch font, and tell people at the start of the post to switch to a fixed-pitch font to view it. No, no, that's different - you mean stuff like when people mark words with ^^^^ and it's in the wrong place etc. That's because the people doing the marking *did not* use a fixed-pitch font when formatting their posts, and consequently the only way the lining up will work for people reading the post is if they were somehow to know what proportional font was used to do the underlining, and set their newsreader to do that, and even then it wouldn't be a guaranteed match. Oh god, I'm turning into Ivan Reid. [1] this is how it's /supposed/ to work - with Outlook Express you can send font info, but only in Microsoft RTF or HTML as a MIME attachment, and only other OE users can see 'em.
yeah, I meant to mention that - you should line your columns up with spaces rather than tabs, because you cannot predict the number of spaces a tab character will generate. The downside of doing this is that although it means you can almost guarantee your post will look right in a fixed-width font, it actually makes it look a lot /worse/ in a proportional font.
Jeezus, I never thought he was being _that_ stupid :-} **** 'em. If peeps don't know they shouldn't view usenet in proportional font, and can't work out how to change it, tough shit to them, I say.
