The is Europe, it's rec.skiing.resorts.europe, we call a ski station
somewhere that has access to a ski area, like a train station lets you
ride the train.


Hi, I am puzzled too.

Please don't be offended, but in Scandinavia and all cross Europe we would
surely call a town like St. Anton a town. This apparently is different in
UK.
I am curious, how do one differentiate between a town and a mere station?


'Mere' is the misleading part here. In French, anywhere there is
skiing is referred to as a Station de Ski. It's in no way connected to
the existence or otherwise of town, village or city.

(And try to bear with the top posters, Outlook Express , the most widely
used newsreader/mailer, has its default that way.


As do many proper newsreaders. It's not exactly rocket science to hit
page_down a couple of times, trimming unwanted verbiage as you do so.
TBH I had to hit reply a second time to test this out, as it's so much
an automatic reaction.

It creates a blank line on
top, and places the insertionpoint there. You have to remember to delete the
top line and skip to the bottom every time you post, - slips me from time
to time as well)


There's no need to delete the blank line.
