Er, Franz, could you do a little research about how to post on usenet
please? www.google has some useful tips.

If posts are well edited, threads are easier for everyone else to
follow, and also there's no confusion about who said what, so you

won't
need to put your name at the end of each comment.


Hello Janet. Thank you for the advice.
I don't propose to follow it, as I
see nothing wrong in my style.


Suit yourself. Pointless requoting of entire posts can be such a
turn-off, many people just won't bother to read or reply.


That does not bother me at all.
I used to snip quite hard in order to limit the total length of the
conversation, but I was slated more than once for snipping context. I might
possibly, justifiably, now be erring in the other direction.


By the way, I notice that you, too, add your name to your contributions.
The only difference seems to be that I enclose mine in square brackets.


I follow standard practice and put my name once only, after the end of
my post; not after each inserted comment as you were doing.


Please provide evidence to the effect that I signed any particular
contribution once. If I did so, it would have been wrong and I will
assuredly apologise.

I have looked at this thread, where I presume you thought there was an
offending unnecessary signature. I cannot find it.
