So you're plonking him for writing "after 15 edits"?

Nope.

Maybe we should all plonk you for daring to use an asterisk?

Maybe you should not leap to conclusions when there are other possible
explanations.

Maybe you should leave in context and explain why you're plonking then.


It's a drole tool.
Let it plonk me.


s/drole/droll

I thought you'd gone all posh.


Nah, just can't spell worth a shot.

Does your newsreader not underline ****ups in red?


My newsreader uses an external editor, through which I can invoke spell
checking, I just don't bother.

I have most curse words down pat

Your newsreader can't edit by itself? Oh dear.

Well, I do have to hit the letter F for follow-up, or P for post.
It opens the editor in the same full screen terminal window.
I edit the follow-up, save it, the editor closes, and goes back to the
thread/post view, I hit Y to send it.

It's really easy, legible to me more than any other newsreader, and that
all happens seemlessly. I don't see windows opening,closing.

I also have pan/knode ... put I heavily prefer slrn.

I'll stick to the more modern interface thanks.
