Hello Marck,
On Monday, September 25, 2000 at 01:17:11 GMT +0100 (which was 5:17 PM
where I live) witnesses say Marck D. Pearlstone typed:
J>> ... I must confirm replying by Select All and F4 does not do the
J>> trick: it does _not_ override the signature delimiters.
> No ... and It shouldn't. Why would you want to anyway?
In the context of digests, I agree. However, what if I want to
comment on somebody's current cookie? Maybe I got a real charge out
of it and jut had to make an electrifying retort. Nothing negative,
all positive comments of course.[1]
> A reply should always be to a single message.
True.
> A message ends at the signature.
I disagree, especially when one's signature is dynamic with cookies,
PS's and other stuff that people like to put down there. Plus since
I'm specifically *telling* TB what to quote, why should it override my
judgement? It's up to me to gauge the situation, no?
I hope you don't put up too much resistance to this post. But I sense
it has real potential for a long discussion. (You might need to wire
my fingers shut to stop the electricity jokes). :)
[1] For completeness, here is a copy of Marck's cookie from the
message I responded to: Note that I had to cut and paste it
despite my selection attempts.
