Thanks. I'm going to order one. I have a win 10 computer that goes
nuts if it boots without the mouse and keyboard. (Sometime I forget
to check the KVM switch). Then it will ignore the keyboard even
after everything is corrected and rebooted. I does recognize a usb
mouse though. I think it may be that nutty fast startup, so I
disabled that, but these converters would be nice to have around.

My guess is that your newsreader doesn't wrap any lines of the highest level of quotes you're responding to. It's not a problem for me because Google Groups does. Google Groups also replaces previous lines of quotes with a place marker. This really makes it easy to read. All newsgroup readers should have this feature - but they don't. Why is that?

The why is I follow the usenet standard which dejanews used to
follow before the goggle monster swallowed it.
 
usenet news readers are supposed to set carriage returns when
posting, which would be platform independent, which I suppose these days
is an old fashioned idea.

You're right but you're talking to a rebellious child :)

The protocols, rules, and etiquette, of Usenet were set in a world that was vastly different than today. Platform independence is not an old fashioned idea, it is very much alive. I can access this newsgroup on most any computer in the world using most any OS. I can work on my documents in a similar manner on any computer that has a standard browser.
 
Platform Independence is pretty much a reality. I suspect that you might have been in the IT field because those people seem to be stuck in the past. Does that seem right to you?
 
In the end, we'll all be using Google Groups to access this newsgroup. Yoose guys just don't know it yet. Yoose can take that to the bank.

You can't blame Fortran for the interface you had to use. Fortran is
still in use in the aviation industry. I recently wrote a small program
in Fortran, typing it in just like C or any other language.

Depends on what you're doing and what the editor is. I still prefer an
80-column line for Usenet posts because not everybody's newsreader wraps
long lines. It's common courtesy.

Google Groups assumes you're using Google Groups to read Usenet. His posts
look fine when I read them on GG, although I can tell from the quoting
carets that his lines are extremely long. He's repeatedly been asked to use
the Enter key, but he feels he's too forward-thinking to do so.

Never happened to me either and I cook beans at least once a week.

I remember watching an episode of Jacques Pepin and he said never to soak
black beans overnight because they will start to ferment. He uses the quick
soak method.

One hour but with that method, bring to a boil and boil one minute for black
beans. Then turn off the heat. Kidney beans require 2 minutes of boiling.

However, if you're making a dish where you don't want the beans to
burst open (like a salad), adding acid at the beginning will help
prevent it.

Flank steak, rubbed with a mix of tomato paste, garlic powder, onion
powder and Thai fish sauce. The paste was left on for four hours prior
to grilling, then it was roughly blotted off and the steak was sprayed
with oil right before I put it on the grill.
 
Canned corn for the starch
 
Salad. I ate my steak on the salad, which was dressed with 1 teaspoon
balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce (Kikkoman), 1 tablespoon extra-
virgin olive oil.

I've often decanted a decent wine, never decanted people.
 
Not to worry, I know what side I'm on. I an an honest person, I though
so will tell you were a jackass from the start and my mind has not

I looked into rec.food.cooking which I haven't looked at much
since eternal September. It does seem to habe deteriorated somewhat.

Most of the decent people on usenet have been chased out. These
days it's pretty mcuh arseholes and masochists.
