G0TEZ/TPK 1.83c Num 68 01-05-03T04:49:31 GMT: COLNE,Lancs:
A bull from Andy GM7HUD set me thinking about just who regularly added the
most text to the least message.
To me, the winner is a VK station, you know who you are, who sent an HTML
message with just one line of text:
"Anyone who calls CQ on 70cm must have sh:t for brains."
The rest was a very colourful page, containing greetings on behalf of his
wife as well as his operating conditions: rig AE,PWR etc., and his
membership of various groups e.g., Brisbane Bee Keepers' Club, at the end.
To people without HTML facility, it must have been quite difficult to find
the actual message. I use ALT+TAB to minimise TPK then use Netscape to look
at <HTML><H2> I know 90% of the world uses Winpack but some of us use other
programmes.</HTML></H2>
I'm not sure of it's name but one programme won't respond to my MFilter and
shows several rows of R lines. Then you get 'X-Login', no password and
several rows of start text.
There is usually an endtext with, what we called the "4 Watts" on CB.
i.e., his rig,twig,power and mic + all the groups he is a member of.
I don't know the name of the programme, perhaps someone will tell me (?)
In the old days, the Packet Police would have warned them about "cloging up
the network". Now, with so few users, it doesn't matter.
If anyone has any good examples and they were SP originally, why not show
them to us and let's see who regularly adds the most.
73. Ian.
