1. Go to the python archive for this month
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-October/author.html#start
2. Search for your posts by control-f jonas
3. Open 4 or 4 at random and try to read them

Now do you see that google-groups (stupidly) inserts extra lines that causes a lot of irritation to a lot of people?
