Well I have been working from home a few days each week and also back at my office for the rest. My wife is still away and will be 1 month by the time
she comes home. Been sorting out her deceased mums estate and getting a house ready for sale. My daughter and I (at home) have been living different
routines etc. and getting by. I am a much better cook than I was nearly 4
weeks ago.

Winter is in full on throes right now, it's wet, cold and not nice to be out.

I've been watching some movies on Netflix, been doing some LinkedIn learning videos on a number or topics, still waiting to see if a job I wuold like to apply for at my work will come up as a vacancy... waiting for such opportunities to apply is a killer. I know it's coming but I have been
waiting on / off for over a year now and COVID has certainly mucked up
business as usual where I work.

Sorry have not been around much but there's only so much mental energy and reserves at this time. I'll try not to be a stranger.

Hope this finds you safe and well.

Best, Paul

Good to have you back. Summer is about to get into full swing here in Dallas with weather hearing near the 100'sF. (36C?).

If you're stuck for something to do, you can setup usenet on my end if you
like :)

Can I send you my washing? Its been rained on, on the line for the last 3 days...not that its solid rain, decent sized showers though and at ~14C no chance of it drying in between.

Not while you're writing posts with lines longer then 79 characters ;)

Not I said the fly.... tres strange, last time I had trouble with soft returns being a problem. They're presently disabled, now you say line length than 79 is a problem.... hard to have it both ways :)

I don't have a solution to this one....

I dont think you need one.

I get that some old packages probably cant handle it, but I also think its normal that paragraphs are not forced rapped at a char limit. While 79 might be
appropratie for an 80 column screen, some folks use BBSs with 40, 132 or another number.

The BBS package "should" handle whatever line length it is at, and we should understand that its OK when it doesnt.
