Mark K: List frustrations

[Mark Kohut]

Dr. Krafft,

The problem I often cause is that I cut & paste text picked up from somewhere 
else. This text goes onto the plist 

as a kind of pane of glass rather than bit by bit text. That explains the second 
post of mine, I believe: The GR post linking to an article 

about GR and bad Presidents, which article I could not access myself...

The first post that you cite was simply the header itself as received.Ii had 
read it
while working online and wanted to point to it for some completists but I did 
not want to take the time
to go back to the New Yorker, copy and paste the link and bring it back here to 
post. 


I also did not think many plisters would even read such a link which was not 
much more 

than the header on TRP but a lot about Malick, which I had no interest in 
creating another 

digressive string about. To me, there have been more digressive strings than On 
Point strings
lately or digressive strings really about TRP.

Both were tangential mistakes on my part. 

I'll post less such stuff...


Mark

Would you (or somebody) mind sending me (I'd suggest reposting, but the problem 
may be with the list software) info in plane text about these two Items from 
Monday?

[You guys are really content to read through so much garbage? I've offered 
before to help fund an update of list software, but nobody has taken me up on 
it.]

Thanks.
