	It may be noted here that an empty line consists of either
only one character <lf> or two characters <crlf>.  Therefore by
adding empty lines to a posting can increase it's length by (lemme
think now...) (hmm...)  (get out the ol' TI...)  (damn bouncing
keys...) 1.25 to 3.125 % !!!!  No wonder the mail moves so slow these
days!!

	(We're not going to say anything about re-posting entire
articles now, are we?)

	Just a few observations there...
