Please Michael, I though I had made it clear enough that your quoting was quite acceptable. There is absolutely no reason to go into self-defense mode. Speaking for myself I found it very easy to follow, whether it is standard style or not. > (If I quote from the same person a second time, as I'm about to do, > should I repeat the attribution every time?) > > >> There are no quotation marks in your messages at all, except for the ones >> that were present in the messages you're replying to. Just to get the record straight: I did not say this, it was Patrick. So perhaps in _this_ case an attribution would have been a good thing. Whatever the case, Michael, I think you are taking things much too seriously, speaking for myself I really never intended to offend you, and I am pretty sure neither did Patrick nor Philip. You asked for advice, and you got it, perhaps some of it a little subjective and based on rather unimportant details of email format (which I took as a little "tongue in cheek" but you apparently didn't). The decision is still yours.
