Well, no one is blaming here, for starters, and formatting is not the most important issue, most people would not even care enough to pay attention. > It's OK for me to abandon my way of respecting original authors and > stop the use of tabs if need be, but I just wonder what your argument > is based on and what the problem is. There had been several attempts to clean up port descriptions in the past few years, and lately thanks for cs@ who started to clean up COMMENT shit, and other people who started to format WWW: page more consistently, not to forget large shaving off old-style attribution few months ago (I forgot who exactly did that). Basically, in the old days port descriptions were a lot more inconsistent and untidy. I think we need to improve here and, given positive momentum, it's about time, hence my email. ./danfe
