"Lately there seems to be some slippage of what has been for years the common style for replying to posts. In the interest of FR Stylebook maintenance, here is what has been proper style on replying to comments in a thread."
Hear Hear!

OK
To: BJungNan
Quote the person you are replying to with italics (if you are replying to someone specifically and what they said).That has always been SOP for my responses to other posts. It makes things very readable.

Now that you mention it, all the colors and font sizes are kind of pretty.

That color kind of strains the eyes. :-)

1. Quote the person you are replying to with italics (if you are replying to someone specifically and what they said).
2. Seperate with a paragraph mark.
3. Show your reply in regular text. "Separate" is spelled wrong.

Just a quick comment on your post..

I agree that italics are easiest to read. Personally, I like to also use the indentation (DIR and /DIR in HTML) to separate my words from the correspondents, excerpts, etc.
