    It didn't work the second time; though Pan 2 was considered best
    newsreader by Usenet, something goes wrong with pasting into it.
    Maybe you can tell what's what because it's usually just one newline
    was removed except in the anthologies list: The Eagle, 2000 AD, Heavy
    Metal, Dark Horse Presents, Paklis, and the artists list: Alfred Bestall,
    Hal Foster, Dave Dorman, Alex Ross...
    The attempted second post fixing was even worse, somehow the final
    draft wasn't saved and the second attempt was an older draft...
    If anyone replies maybe I'll report what happened to the Pan 2
    maintainers and reformat/repost (maybe w/new additions later)

    Something went wrong with my text tools (shell cat & more, notepadqq )
    that after pasting my original post in Pan 2 NNTP newsreader, Pan changed
    every section first line newlines and some others... I'm pasting it
    (only) once more to see if it works.
