nnslashdot usage question

[Kai Großjohann]

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?

I've not made the function put <p> into blank lines.

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?
