LOL....oh crap!
I meant to post to you not ByDesign.

I always include the whole post so I don't take people out of context, such as the Washington Post did today.
Please don't do that.

If someone is curious, they can always click the "To #, that is placed in blue at the bottom of your post. (When you click on the "To #, you will instantly go to the original post that you are referring to)

Quoting the whole message means that your point gets lost...it takes up too much space and, to be honest, it's downright annoying.



Not true Eddie, one should always see the context of the post, some don't always click on the little blue things. Besides, the newspapers do this all the time, only post a certain sentence, so people only see what the warshington post want's you to see.

OK....The dividing line is very good and will suffice :-)

But I stll implore you to quote ONLY the relevant section that you wish to comment on.

For example, the [OK....The dividing line is very good and will suffice :-)] would be unneccessary to repeat as it is only the [quote ONLY the relevant section that you wish to comment on.] section that may warrent a reply.

Take care.
