Yeah! And why the hell does it violate the posting format rules something
fierce?

I understand that Gossymer is some sort of intelligent smart frame. Somewhere
between Talky and a Know-Bot. As to it's posting format, I haven't a clue.

Phill.

Like anyone keeps the format. I've collecting all the posts relating to
MONICA in a single file, and editing them to standardise the format is
a real pain in the ass. On top of all the spelling and punctuation errors.

For those who don't remember, I believe it's:

*****Encrypt key-designation (optional)
>>>>>[Text]<<<<<
-- <HH:MM:SS/MM:DD:YY>

One TAB before TWO dashes, <> instead of (), and no spaces between the text
and brackets.
If any of this is wrong, I apologise. Feel free to bite my head off. I just
spent three hours correcting stuff like this, and I'm a little annoyed.
