Kennedy gets his own TFR

In communication, it's content over format. Content can be enhanced by
prudent trimming, of course, but the point is to get the author's idea

I've always maintained proper trimming makes the top / bottom posting
debate almost moot.

Many of the initial Usenet participants were programmers. Programmers
are professional formatters; formatting is essential to maintainable
code.

This TFR probably was intended to protect the Figawi (I am NOT joking
about the name) race, goes from one of the islands to Hyannis. The

Kennedy completes Figawi Race
Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By David Abel
Globe Staff / May 26, 2008

HYANNIS PORT -- Under pristine skies and with strong gusts, Senator
Edward M. Kennedy this afternoon steered his 50-foot schooner from
Nantucket to a mooring beside his beach-front compound, leading many
of the sailboats in the final leg of the annual Figawi Race.
more stories like this

It took Kennedy only about 2.5 hours to make the journey across
Nantucket Sound in a trip that many thought he wouldn't take after
being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last week. He finished
second in his division.

He arrived at the dock in a blue windbreaker and Red Sox cap with
Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd. His wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, and
sons Teddy and Patrick at his side.

"It couldn't be a more beautiful day," he said. "We're with friends
and family and it's a great tradition out here. We always enjoy it. I
think we ended up in the front part of the fleet."

-------------------------------------------------------------------
As I wrote before, I don't like this man, but this kind of perq is
pretty minor for someone with his influence. It may be one of the last
times he sales this course.

I don't remember, but was anyone in this newsgroup upset that Senator
John Glenn got to ride in one of the shuttles for some 'scientific'
reason after he left the senate? It was, of course, made up science.

That TFR wouldn't protect much of this race.

I assume the alternative to not trimming posts is that some may choose
not to read them. What is the big deal?

It's up to the writer to decide how he (or she) chooses to

You need to go chekc out some of the trolllz froups. Mis-spelling is a
common technique used to hook fjukkwits like Maxwell. they're keen to
jump in and shriek about the poaster's pudgy fingers and what not. The
mis-spellings are a convention in themselves to some degree. Poast is
usualy (mis) spelled that way as is froup, lits (list) and a number of
others . Makes it an "in" joke as well.

And why the **** would you ask a Yarpie anything unless it's how to arm
your BMW X5 to the teeth?
