In .txt files a linefeed in conjunction with a carriage return mean a line 
break, and two of them mean a paragraph break. I've never seen a linefeed 
without a carriage return.

I think it originally comes from the old linetype machines where you could 
write a line, do a carriage return without a linefeed and underline parts of a 
line.

I can't think of a good reason to have a linefeed without a carriage return. 

Bob (reminiscing about old machines like himself).

  I guess I don't know what line feeds are . . .
