I know it's a mess, it's not funny and it's boring, especially when you are focused and willing to share your opinion. This is why I write my replies right away and quote later on when I'm done with my creative crisis :) > I will try to be more carefull in the future.

This happened to me a lot of times, and it means valuable brainpower being lost due to laziness in quoting and low attention to S/N ratio :/ I remember my old Fidonet days where it was a strict and enforced rule that quoted text could not be more than 50% of the total message: this was done based mostly on bandwith constraints, yet I feel this can still be a good rule of thumb. Oh well, I don't have white hair (er... actually I have a few hair, and yes, some of them are white ;-)) but sometimes I tend to feel like an old man: it starts to look old-fashioned having read RFC1855 and writing signatures separated by sig-dashes... Anyway, who cares. Back to work!
