If I was replying to the OP, my reply would be here.


And many of us can't immediately tell the difference in this case
because our newsreader smoothly opens posts for us following the
threads
of the replies. It's only when people snip all context that we have
to
look back at the headings layout to see which post links to which.

And please tell David that retaining the relevant headers and the
attribution marks " " is part of the process of not throwing away
the
context. When there are many contributors to a thread, those marks
are essential for understanding who said what when.

David, your posts are usually very much worth reading, but they would
be much easier to understand if you were to adhere to those usenet
courtesies.
