Skype: a one sided conversation cause the other side has already gone to bed...

[2/18/2010 7:24:21 PM] Helen: Hi there, when you get this can you tell me what 'running broadside' means when it refers to graphic design? Does it just mean 'landscape'? First time in a long time that Google absolutely can't help me!
[2/18/2010 7:26:36 PM] Helen: Heh - finally after "graphic+design running+broadside -beacon" as a search, I find this http://www.rickardbindery.com/html/HH-0606.html
[2/18/2010 7:28:28 PM] Helen: Honestly this is for a journal that can say stuff like 'if you cant submit this on line you can send us a hard copy' - ie "luddites" and then uses obscure concepts like "When possible, tables should be organized to fit across the page without running broadside."
[2/18/2010 7:29:59 PM] Helen: I have visions of pirates...

Ah-har I will run ye broadside with this table ye scurvy dogs...

Oh ok, since a post without a picture is no fun:
