<div id="ygrps-yiv-1134174339">anton has identified the new growth glitch or glitz as the double line bug<br/>
so i would like to see how far we can go without carriage returns & am thus<br/>
experimentally addressing you all  nonstop  but for horizontal spaces &<br/>
yikes  so as to ease any accumulative tension would now adopt the double or<br/>
triple ampersand say like this &&& to mean a full stop & rest  &&&  &&&<br/>
let me also take this single continuous testing opportunity to report some<br/>
progress in my quest for the truest possible nautical mile  tho the<br/>
received values continue to proliferate from exactly 6076 feet to well<br/>
beyond 6077 ft  for it does now appear that the most prestigious<br/>
authorities agree only upon exactly  6076 feet & 1 tenth  yes 6076point1<br/>
period  tho many others still variegate crazily into 4 decimal places  &&&<br/>
so i am content now to proceed with just this value into the wilds of<br/>
trigonometry if indeed there is anyone here who can lead me 3nm west thru<br/>
them from the mouth of the columbia to waorus  m</div>
