Any security concious person blocks it and only uses it when dealing with somebody they really have to deal with like a really stupid boss. |

says... I have no problem with HTML either; I killfile anybody who posts with it. Why? Because I can't read HTML with my news client; I thought that was clear. But apparently lots of people post in HTML without even knowing it. Killfiling them all makes no sense. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

I have no interest in reading posts with active content, multiple fonts, colored backgrounds or blinking text. If you have none of that crap in your posts, then you don't need HTML anyway. I notice that you're not posting in HTML; why's that? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

8-Tips for Packing and Traveling Lite
How-to Pack and Travel Lite In this day and age of traveling cephalalgia, there are a few packing tactics to employ. To cut out an extra thirty to forty minutes at the arriving airport, start with packing small luggage. Since carry-ons can not exceed a linear dimension of 45 inches, you can escape the fiasco of the baggage terminal by simply packing and traveling light. To learn how to pack all your needs into one suitcase, read more. Use the following pithy packing tips to make your travel light: Make a list. Compose a pack list. Be sure to coordinate shirts and blouses with bottoms. To maximize your traveling wardrobe fashion savoir faire, stick with solids and versatile basics. Rule-out any clothes that do not match other items. Roll ??em up please. The best way to fit all your clothes is by rolling pants and shirts. First fold each item in half. Then simply roll. To try to maintain any creases, start on the bulkiest end of the article of clothing. Gear up. How to make an awe-inspiring impression out of a basic or mundane outfit? For the most glam appeal, accessorize with a vibrant tie (for him) or a florid scarf (for her). Multihued accessories can liven up just about any attire. Minimize bulk. After you check for space, edit outfits ?C ruthlessly. Try to pack microfibers with wrinkle and stain free comfort. With most of your attire, stay in the same color scheme ?C in case you have to layer up for warmth. Employ shoe smarts. For men, any leather rubber-soled shoes can make the day and night transition, easy. For woman, a pair of flip-flops, strappy sandals and comfy wedges can serve all casual ?C chic dressing needs. Put under garments on the top. To reduce the embarrassment of under garments becoming the side show attraction of the open luggage scan, place all panties in a plastic bag free of any clippers, lighters or other questionable paraphernalia. For expedient security review, place the transparent bag on top of your other items so security can access the bag without ruining your efficient packing method. Lose Extra Baggage. Leave the heavy travel guide at home. Duplicate important resources to keep your luggage free of extra pounds. Since most hotels and resorts provide irons and blow-dryers --leave yours at home for light travel. Leave restricted items at home. If you want to make it through security extra fast, avoid any firearms, weapons, box-cutters, scissors, razors, lighters and any other item that may be used in a terrorist situation. http://www.tips4you.org/travel/ A few tips for better posting. Do not post in rtf/html format. Many news clients can not decipher the code. Makes for hard reading. Learn to press the "enter" key a few times in a long line. Learn to use "word wrap" more efficiently. Your post shows 178 lines while it only contained about 20 lines of text. Very bad netiquette. Maybe you need a bigger monitor. His post displays perfectly on my 1680 x 1050 monitor. The wrap is flawless at the screen's width. No screen width is wasted. Yours is truncated with the lines breaking midway. Kind of stupid to only use half your monitor's width. And for people that say its hard to read a long line? Wake up to this age of widescreen monitors. Learn to read properly. Half empty screen widths are wasted screen widths. People need to get away from the utterly brainless default posting width of 72 characters. Hello - we've moved up from 14" CRT monitors! So get your netiquette together and drag your sorry ass into the 21st century. HAR HAR. Can't stand usenet "traditionalists" that live in the past. Wake up. |
