Gaining a Brevet in WW2
DFCP,
Timidly, I must second Chugalug's suggestion to space it out a bit (I'm only a third way through on adding my two-cents worth in commentary on your #2867).
Hit wrong button - lost Post! It seems to happen to everybody when they start. Fareastdriver (#2307) and Chugalug (#2310) helped me when I had just crawled out of my pram (only six months ago - how time flies!)
Solution is to draft elsewhere (I like Notepad - wider page than Wordpad). There's no formatting, but you can easily do that at the end when you've pasted it on the PPRuNe reply sheet.
Draft on Notepad (make sure you save it, or that will do the dirty on you, too). Copy and paste onto PPRune - then that can do its worst, and you can always try again, you've lost nothing. (And you've got a complete File of your Posts to refer to).
Of course, if you're a plutocrat with Word (or a postgraduate in Computer Science), please ignore this attempt to teach Grandmother how to suck eggs!
Best of luck!
Danny.
