Personally, I prefer ragged right margins on articles over the net.  My
reaction on seeing a justified article is "not another one of those silly
affected things!"  Anyway, I use a locally written screen editor that
doesn't offer things like filters.

However, I will concede that I am one of the reigning long-paragraph kings.
My thoughts all come out in one gestalt, and that's the way they get typed.
As many groups as I read (I'm seriously considering turning off net.politics),
I don't have time to write ORGANIZED articles.  The net should not have to
live up to the same standards as documentation.

Anyway, your article itself commented that the net was one of the last
bastions of free expression.  Aren't you contradicting yourself?  Given that,
and also given the tone of your article, it might ALMOST have been better
to post it to net.flame.
