. i've just been informed by a friendly chap in Britian that all articles i've posted have been truncated to 0-lines by the time his machine receives them; now, i ain't got that much interesting to say (like the majority of netter-submitters it seems), so maybe this is the result of a hidden "worthless-news" editor, but i kinda doubt it...maybe a major nexus in the States and one in Europe could exchange notes on the volume of 0'd articles they each receive? ...and what about the Aussies? You folks seeing a lot of 0'd articles Down There? ...many thanks to Nigel Horne on root44 in UK, tho he probably won't see this either... doug

Your articles are 0-length because you begin them with a "." alone
on a line. Some mailers and newsreaders interpret that as a terminator,
and there goes the rest of the article.
DO NOT create any lines in your article that have nothing but one ".".
