SECTION FOUR : Hints on how to present your article

Here are some hints to help you to make your post more attractive :

1. While doing a follow-up on a post, you may want to edit the content of
   the pervious post. There is no need to quote ALL of the content of
   ALL previous messages in a thread when creating a short reply. Doing
   so will force readers to scroll through about two pages of the same
   text quoted over and over again in subsequent replies, which often
   include only 1 or 2 lines of new comment. For those that have the
   capability, please try to quote just the passages to which you are
   responding, not the entire long message or thread.

2. Some newsreaders are limited to 80 columns. So, if someone types
   very lone lines (132 to 255 characters), readers may have to press
   End/Home or scroll horizontally to read each line. If your software
   doesn't word-wrap when you type, you could help us out by putting a
   carriage return before the 80th character.

3. Some people put the name of the newsgroup to which they are posting
   in the subject line. This could be annoying since readers cannot tell
   what is the content of that post. Please try to use a meaningful
   subject line that describes the content of your post.
