Retract your unfounded, libelous personal attack and apologize

ROFL! I've actually enjoyed exposing you as a leftist liberal fraud yet again. As for your claims your indexed your quote it doesn't appear that way on my Palm browser. Start using normal quotation marks instead of some weird probably foreign method and maybe you won't get stomped on so hard next time. Maybe.

It's not my fault you use systems that don't display correctly. Start reading with a proper HTML renderer. Until then, don't accuse me out of your ignorance.

Now retract and apologize. The HTML shows I used blockquote, a standard method for quoting another's text.

Blockquote has been in HTML since at least 2.0, and its purpose is described as (my emphasis):

5.5.4. Block Quote: BLOCKQUOTE
The <BLOCKQUOTE> element contains text quoted from another source.

A typical rendering might be a slight extra left and right indent, and/or italic font. The <BLOCKQUOTE> typically provides space above and below the quote.

Single-font rendition may reflect the quotation style of Internet mail by putting a vertical line of graphic characters, such as the greater than symbol (>), in the left margin.

Example of use:

I think the play ends
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
but I am not sure.

I don't see any call for redundant quote marks. You are wrong, as usual. You personally attacked me based on your ignorance, as usual.

True, the World Wide Web is a foreign invention. Oh, wait, foreigners can't invent anything according to you.

Your HTML and WWW history lessons are now over. Start educating yourself instead of relying on me. I don't get paid enough to teach students this dense.
