Hi,

Was just wondering what the group etiquette was with respect to
posting VB.NET classes or code examples. I find that if I just
copy/paste the code into FreeAgent, the code gets word-wrapped all
over the place. That makes it difficult to copy/paste the code from
the newsgroup message back into VB.NET - forcing you to fix all the
wrapped lines, etc. And I'd rather not go back and modify all my
source code so that it doesn't exceed 60 or 70 columns.

So.. is it considered rude to post code as a UU-encoded binary
attachment? Not so much for the two-liners, but for posting full
classes that are a bit larger than that.

Thanks,
// CHRIS
