The line too long has to do with the header of the posts.  News readers
thread the articles (so you know what article is a reply to which one) by
the reference in the header, which is the message ids for each of the
messages.  Apparently some newsreaders are not very happy if that message
id is bigger than 1000 characters.  None of my news readers cared, but
some of them dropped that message id and some didn't.  I guess others tell
you it is an error.  So, trivia basically.

My parents really never listened to music, which seemed odd to me since
I've always been such a fanatic.  If they do listen to anything, it is
usually something beautiful, you know like those radio stations that say
something like it's beautiful music on Smooth 101.

Ok, I should have looked Anna up.  A book.  No, I've never read that one,
so I totally missed the reference to it.
