It might not be a bad idea for the list to settle on a standard for quoting previous articles. (Such a standard could even go into an FAQ for the list, as and when.) I personally like Usenet-style quoting, where responses immediately follow the points they're responding to and extraneous material gets snipped. (I think it makes for a more conversational style.) But many people like the "quote the whole thing and insert responses at the top" (which some e-mail programs encourage). At this point, I think a majority of people here are doing the first, but a noticeable minority are doing the second. I think exchanges go more smoothly if everyone (or at least most people) are following the same standard-- otherwise, in long exchanges, you wind up with posts where you can't tell who said what, or in what order. Just a thought. Mike
