No sweat Andrew. Usenet quotes drive me nuts as well. Sometimes, if a
thread goes on for any length at all, I simply give up trying to figure
out just who said what and to whom!!! :-)

Hi Andrew;

No wonder Usenet is so confusing for older people like me !!! :-)))


It helps to have been using it from the beginning (well, not really...

only
since about 1982). Of course, the downside of this is that

conventions are
second-nature, and we forget that others lack that background.

The quote you have for me here isn't mine . It's Marc's.
I'm sitting here reading this post thinking , "When the living hell

did
I say THAT!!!!!!!?"


Right. It's obviously not your text, to me, given the "double quote"

(the
two greater-than symbols. But that makes me lax about fixing the

header
inserted by my news reader...and I shouldn't be.

Sorry.
