I have just read my first post on nnslashdot, and I must admit it came
out rather differently than I intended.

Also, I used lots of empty lines to separate paragraphs, but they all
got run together.
Should I have put HTML tags in my posting?

Hm. nnslashdot-request-post removes "> " at the start of lines and
does a <blockquote> instead. Do you use a different quoting char?

This message is an example of my quoting style. I believe it's pretty
much the standard Gnus style, except that I weed out a lot of what the
other person has been saying...

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.

I haven't tried posting via nnslashdot for a while -- are anybody else
doing that? Is it working?
