I'm sorry I am not up to par with your experience and longevity in Fidonet. You
sir, should always be remembered for that. </sarcasm>

I prefer it. Show me where it tells me not to, and I'll stop doing it.
Otherwise, spew your extended Fidonet knowledge and technicalities on someone
who is just as serious about this "hobby" as you are. :)

 > sometimes one needs to leave a little bit more for continuity...

No. That's just regurgitating what has already been quoted previously. The only
importance, is what you're replying to. Some of the newer BBS softwares these
days have threading capabilities. Which makes it easy to find out what the
conversation is about. Carrying the same quoted crap when it's not even being
replied to is ridiculous.

But, since you know all, and everything else is moot (evidence of arguing with
anybody and everybody lately). I'll graciously bow out with my original opinion
stated. I prefer the way my editor quotes. Whether you like it or not, really
doesn't bother me one bit, sorry to say.
