Hi,

in case you are new to the comp.sys.raspberry-pi news group, there are 
three conventions that we follow to make it easier for everyone to read.

1) The reply you type should be after the previous message(s) text, or
    interleaved with it. Not at the top, which is the default for some
    badly designed online services such as google groups/mail, and poor
    quality PC software such as Outlook and Outlook Express - these
    particular programs can be fixed with a patches from:-
    http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
    http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

2) You should edit the previous message(s) to just the points directly
    relevant to your reply, and not just include the entire thing.

3) Make sure all your lines are less than 76 characters wide, to
    prevent unsightly spillage of odd words on to the next line, and to
    make it easier for people replying.

For further information please refer to the following:-

Wise words. May I also suggest checking the date of the post being 
replied to? For a topic such as this, a 2 month time-lag from the most 
recent thread posting might suggest the topic is somewhat past its 
best-before date.... although I must apologise for not following up and 
giving my decision.

In this case I took note of the comments about the rpi's usb speeds, and 
went with a jetway atom-based box (4 onboard NICs) - supposedly 15W idle 
power, although I'm not entirely convinced about this.

My thanks for all comments (they were helpful in deciding) , but the 
decision is long-since-made and the thread is really dead now.

The link quoted above recommends 72 characters maximum.

The legitimate heirs of Demon have transferred the site to Namesco, and
between them they have not provided me with the information now needed
to access it as maintainer.

The site is thus fossilised at its mid-April state, and will presumably
vanish when Namesco have found out how to resent not being paid.  The
Wayback Machine should still have it.

The master copy is safe, being updated, and may eventually be copied to
another server.
