Andre Jute:
Oops, clearly a typo. My file copy says "24 (!!) feet". Can't account
for what happened to turn the two exclamations into the main
message...

Blustering Don Pearce
That change is NOT what happens in a typo; a typo would have produced
"24 (11) feet".

Jute:
You don't know **** about typography either, do you Donnie-boy?.Buy
one of my books on typography, listed at my netsite, and you will be
better informed in future. If you pay attention, of course, and don't
bluster about how much more you know just because you're Don Pearce.

Predictable Pearce:
Clearly more than you if you think that typing 11 instead of 24 has
anything to do with typography. Or are we now supposed to believe that
in the imaginary kingdom of Andre, Usenet is a typeset service?

Of course it is a typeset service, you moron. it is self-service
typeset service. You use the keyboard to type in the text. It is the
same keyboard used in typesetting. The exclamation mark and arabic
numeral one are on the same key. Why don't you inform yourself before
you spout off, Donnie-boy?

This is an excellent example of your blustering arrogance, Pearce. You
are talking to someone who knows the subject, who has an international
reputation in it and who has earned a rich living from it, who has
written several standard texts on the subject, who knows just about
everyone who knows more about it than he does (and they too have
written texts in a seies of books of which I was general editor) --
but you claim to know more.

Get real, man. You don't know ****, and you never will until you
change your attitude.

If you had any brains, or any curiosity, you would use the opportunity
to learn something. I guess you're too old and foolish and smug to
change your ways.
