parsha bit take 2

(Hmm, how weird. I really did send that with two paragraphs. Let's try again.)

When Eliezer seeks to acquire Rivka as a bride for Yitzchak, he negotiates with her brother and mother. Where was her father, Betuel, in all this? According to Rashi, Betuel sought to block the marriage, even in the face of a divine sign. Worse yet, he sought to block it by poisoning Eliezer. However, an angel of God switched the cups so that Betuel, not Eliezer, was poisoned. (24:55)

(I really need to get a Rashi instead of relying on secondary sources' citations...)

I really did send that with two paragraphs.

I don't know if this makes a difference, but I've noticed that if I e-mail in a post and it includes a series of dashes as a paragraph break:

------------------

The second paragrah does not come through.

Oh, bet it's doing signature deletion. Pity the old Usenet convention (/^-- $/) never caught on for email.

In this case it was the first paragraph that went away. I posted by email and didn't have a blank line between the LJ tags (lj-userpic, etc) and the beginning of the post proper. The second time I did. So that seems to be it.
