Hi people.

This is a test from Stepping Stone BBS (1:298/27) vintagebbsing.com:24556 ... hopefully it reaches out to the rest of Fidonet. Working on rebuilding my Synchronet BBS (Win32). Just got to work out the updates. So far, things are going okay.

Thanks for your patience and time.

Looking again I don't see a tearline above your origin line. I think the three "-" in your sig may have been taken as a tearline, though I'm not sure.

I just took the three dashes on my signature. We'll see how that works now. Something new I may have missed as it's been a minute since I had any activity with SBBS.

Looking again I don't see a tearline above your origin line. I think the three "-" in your sig may have been taken as a tearline, though I'm not sure.

1. tearlines are not required... they never have been...
2. the three dashes above his signature are his tear line IF that line also contains a trailing space... tearlines in FTN are defined as "--- " and must start on column 1 of the line...
3. FWIW: tearlines' only purpose was to provide a place to tear everything after it off so as to keep messages somewhat smaller when stored locally a long
time ago... these days, with multi-terabyte drives being less than $100.00US, space is no longer a consideration and tearlines are pretty much irrelevant...

yes, the internet standard for tearline in news and email is two dashes and no more starting in column one of an otherwise empty line... i do not recall if a trailing space is also used, though...

it didn't hurt anything having the tear line above your signature... all it would have done, if any BBS or mailer tosser software actually did this any more, would have been to tear off your signature and everything below it... that's exactly what tear lines are used for in news and email... you can see the results, sometimes, when someone's reply is below the message they are quoting and they've left everything intact instead of trimming the quoted text properly... i know that thunderbird will take the quote part but whatever is below the tear line is cut out of the new reply so you don't even get the post that you are actually trying to quote... you have to manually copy'n'pasta it into the reply and then fool around with everything to get it to quote properly... most of those are from those goofy readers that have an option to quote a message and start your reply below the quoted text... it is just that the folks doing that aren't trimming the shite like they are supposed to do...

Perhaps, not a problem or a real issue, just something that needed to be dealt with. I like to keep a tight ship and make sure everything is working properly. I suppose it's one of those things that keeps me computing. There's always something that needs fixed. :)
