Fence post- bitumen on lower end?

Every time that I've used those there seems to be a stone deep down that couses a twist. It's never near the surface where the twist could be corrected. With about 50 cm. of fins in the ground and the stone, it's impossible to twist it back.

Somewhere, I still have the Fensock dummy that goes into the socket for hammering them into the ground. It's a short length of fence post but much harder wood, with a metal cap on the top where the hammer hits it, and a metal rod through it so you can twist to keep the socket square as you hammer it in. ISTR it was quite expensive, but wouldn't be hard to make if you could get a short length of 4x4 hardwood.

Not half as hard as getting the rotten stump out of concrete.

I usually bury a spur. When the post rots away I can just bolt a new post on.

You don't need to, it's in his headers: "knews 1.0c.0"

They display properly on this machine.

As you seem to be using "PiaoHong.Usenet.Client.Free:1.65" I'd wager it's your end that's getting its bits in a twist.

It's an ancient Motif-based news reader. (That reminds me someone asked me to upload the source code to github, as I may have the only copy that still exists. I didn't write it, although I have had to modify it to add authentication.)

I think that's something your newsreader is doing. Knews is old enough to moan at me if I post lines longer than 72 characters, just in case someone can't read it on their KSR33.

Your posts seem to indent the second and subsequent line of each paragraph, which is not something I've noticed in anyone else's posts. I don't see any headers in your posts indicating that this is a feature of any strange transfer encoding. Just for fun, I've done this explicitly in this paragraph.

I'm using slrn, which still does this. There are still a fair few slrn users, AFAIK.

I misformatted the last paragraph like your articles are. So this implies PiaoHong.Usenet.Client.Free is making incorrect assumptions about usenet article formatting.

PiaoHong.Usenet.Client.Free has had no updates since 2014, and most of the (very few) reviews are 1-3 stars.
