I guess that most people use google to post to newsgroups is that they don't have nntp access. Telling htem to use a newsreader is facetious and unhelpful. Google strips leading whitespace. Putting *anything* before indentation stops the formatting getting messed up. It doesn't stop long lines being wrapped of course.
