Again you made broad assumptions. The quoted part below is a normal quotation within an email reader. However it then appends *all the previous discussion* as well.
By it, I mean the email program, not me. I could of course manual cut off the remainder of the email each and every time I post, but then how would I piss you off? I mean sheeeesh. So now you know, or should know, this is not something people are purposely *doing* to annoy you. It is something that is being done *to* them, and possibly annoys them, just as much as it's done to and annoys you. You victim you ;) Will Johnson <<You've managed an even sillier style in some of your messages, "double top posting", where you top-post your reply over a double quote, first a trimmed quote of the part of the message you're replying to, then a fullquote of the whole message.>> -----Original Message----- From: Daniel R.
