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 into the reader's brain in an understandable way. I've always maintained proper trimming makes the top / bottom posting debate almost moot. |

Kennedy gets his own TFR
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 Boston Globe wrote 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 On May 24, 5:57 am, "Steve Foley" wrote: FDC 8/8593 ZBW MA.. FLIGHT RESTRICTION HYANNIS, MA EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL 0805272200 UTC.

Post Trimming: SERIOUS BUSINESS
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 communicate. It;s up to the reader to decide if it's acceptable.

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? Bertie Bertie |
