I have to disagree on that. Sometimes the other listers have already erased
that post or you want to highlight a specific part of the post ( which's
what happens most of the time ). I prefer breaking up the commented post
as I'm doing now ) rather than expect people to reread the whole post to
look for what it refers to ( therefore, I agree on not quoting the whole
msg, unless yours is a general opinion about the whole of it, so that others
can read it again if so they wish ).

I agree! You generally have to take a look at the number of arrows ( >> ) to
know who said what.

I myself don't find it annoying. As I can recall, Mike ( or mike ) has
already explained on the original Vocalist that he has tendinitis, what
makes it painful for him to reach for the upper case key whenever capitals
are needed. I think he entitles to an Affirmative Action waiver, then. :-)


Bye,
