thieving scum

And he wasn't even Polish.

 

Oh, dear. That one's so old I thought you'd have been familiar with it.

Ah, yes, sorry Bruce. (I think I've just done it again, too.)
As you know, I do like to take care with my posts (hence my editing outadvocated a guideline of 72 chars in the past, though I'm by no means
totalitarian on the subject. However, the occasion sometimes arises when
a wrapped line allows the reader's eye to (subconsciously?) catch the
continuation when you'd rather they'd have scanned the whole sentence first.
In such a case, as above, I first of all sacrifice my usual <tab> at the
beginning of each paragraph, and allow myself the full 80 characters of
terminal width -- although preferably a few less. If the line is then
less than about 76 chars, I allow myself the luxury of maybe 2 spaces
indentation (as I believe I just did in the other post heretofore
mentioned). If that doesn't work, I go back to my old standards and hope
that most readers have imperfect peripheral vision...

You can please some of the people some of the time, &c...
C'est la guerre!
