Covid-19 is still a threat here and the number of new cases is
increasing. We practice social distancing and wear a mask.

What is BC and why She have this name?And gloves, Alan from Penticton, BC Canada?People working in grocery stores do wear gloves lately. I wear gloves
at work but not because of covid, I did before the pandemic but aside
from that I don't wear gloves. I do wash my hands more regularly that before the virus arrived.

Welcome back.... :-)
BTW, have you seen my messages about barrels of apples and Cinderella's ashes?

BTW, have you seen my messages about barrels of apples and
Cinderella's ashes? ;-)
No, but they sound quite intriguing. Can you repost them?
At first Bender decided to upset the Koreyko's balance and make
him nervous. And he sent him some telegrams, like this:
"LOAD ORANGES IN BARRELS"
It sounds confusing and crazy in Russian, and I have thought for a
long time it is crazy in English too.
Perhaps Bender meant this stuff to come across as a riddle, a
secret code, and/or the ravings of a madman in order to upset
Koreyko? :-)
But all of a sudden I heard on American TV like this:
"Bad apple spoils barrel".
Aha, I thought, now I know where they load apples in barrels, not
baskets, and probably they load oranges in the same way, too. So,
Bender probably knew some English. ;-)
... even if he did the expression may simply not translate well. I
first heard it as a teenager when it was clearly being used in a metaphorical sense to refer to one of my fellow students. The way I
heard it was "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel [i.e. the whole
kit & kaboodle]".
Years ago hand-picked fruits & vegetables were loaded into baskets,
then transferred to wooden crates or barrels for shipping
elsewhere. Grocery stores often displayed their wares in such containers... whereas nowadays you would be more likely to eee
cardboard cartons used for this purpose. But the principle is the
same: a rotten piece of fruit can easily infect others.: - Q

see you're from Russia (as I'd suspected). People from all countries

manners & focus on the study of English I have no objection to your "hanging around" here for a while.... :-)
It was just a matter of habit for me, because actually
news readers are similarly easy to use. I deliberately
chose a text-mode one, for some reason I avoid using GUI
readers/editors for corresponding in fidonet. :-)
BTW is it okay to use "hang around" without seeming a
bit too "informal", or should I have said "stay"? :-)

I for one invariable use hard-wrapped text because it is
beautiful, device-independent, and widely supported by
clients and text editors. It guarrantees my text looks the

I meant that when all paragraphs are sent as

and look good at any device.
All linefeeds, 0AH, should be ignored. Systems which
display message text should wrap long lines to suit their
application.

Right, but there is no such discrepancy in BBS, Usenet, or
e-mail. Have you a been a long time in Fidonet, has it
always (or at least since 1995) used soft-wrapped text?

There are a few documents formatted for printing, obviously, hence the justified paragraphs. The rest of them are mostly 70 cols.
