Default Font

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to change the default font-family and
font-size. I tried adding this to the BODY section, but it didn't work. I
tried to the P section, but they are not enclosed in <P> tags. They are just
basic fonts.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Ok, I'm going to assume you meant something like this:
“There aren't any, but I'm just saying there are to back up my stupid
argument”


Actually, many newsgroups don't care about top-posting. Generally, thgese
are populated with relatively uninitiated Usenet users, and are more
chat-oriented than this one. Certainly newsgroups which are more formal
and deal with discussion of complex issues like this one will generally
demand a bit more conformance to standard.
I utterly refuse to adopt
a different set of rules for each individual newsgroup.


We're not asking you to adopt a different set of rules for each
newsgroup. just the same set of rules for *all* newsgroups.


Personally, I don't care how he posts to alt.my.little.pony - top, bottom,
on the back, inside-out on the edges. Don't really care at all.

This and any other newsgroup, like any community, has rules that you
don't necessarily agree with, but if you are sensible, you go along
with a) because it makes interaction with the community less
problematic and b) because the rules may be designed to be of benefit
to people other than yourself.
Provided that my postings are on topic and do not contain profanities
you should have nothing to complain about.

If you don't like it that's your problem, not mine.


Try posting to demon.local with that sort of attitude :-)

Only a miserable few complained. The rest couldn't care.

OK, here's another one who finds it vastly preferable to be able to follow
the train of the conversation in a message than not to be able to.

And here's another one.
