Dress Code

I hope you weren't an English major. This isn't what you meant to say.
You got confused with all your negatives.

I ain't not no more, dang it.

I was sputtering in writing, I was so taken aback by the question!

;-)

And I've met darned few government employees who have the "public
interest" in mind, now that I think about it.

That's just dumb. My job is 100% public interest. I have no product to
sell, I simply provide a service on a first come, first served basis.

I'm talking personal profit, as in pay, pension, and job security. In
my experience, government entities (and their employees) are primarily
concerned with self-replication, not "public interest".

You think your employees are different? They are doing it for the paycheck. Don't believe me? Ask them if they would work for you for nothing, just for the public service of helping to keep the rooms clean.

Jose, for the last week or so, using Agent as my newsreader. your
posts fail to wordwrap. Is that something I can fix on my end?

Select Word Wrap on the View pull-down menu.

Select Word Wrap on the View pull-down menu.

Thanks. It's actually in the "Message" PD Window, and it doesn't
affect Jose's posts.

That's probably because you are running a newer version than me.

and it doesn't affect Jose's posts.

It should wrap the text to the right boundary of the message pane,
instead of forcing you to use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom
of the pane to view the end of his lines.

I had reset my format to not wrap. Hard returns can be a pain, and I
didn't think there were many people with readers that don't autowrap.
I'm not familiar with Agent, so can't help you on that end, but I've
reset it again to wrap at 72.

Your posts did the same for me using Xnews.

Jose, your post haven't made much sense to me these past few weeks, either.

Wordwrap issues?
No, that part's fine. :-)

You've inverted his response, Jose. Your response would be to explain how
government employees WOULD clean restrooms for free since their service is
NOT profit oriented.

Once people learn that human nature is self-serving, all this BS about
"public interest" would be seen for the fraud that it is.
