I am not referring to anyone in particular, and it is such a small thing
that I hesitate to mention it - but I would appreciate it if you were to
clearly delineate quoted material when replying to another postings. There
are several ways of doing this.

or you can do what we do with the primative system at work, wrap the text in
(quote) then (unquote) like this.

"Or even just plain old quotation marks would be better than nothing..."
It must be hard for some new subscribers to make much sense of *some* of the
messages on the list, without having a photographic memory for previous
postings to aid them in recognising where the quoted material ends and the
new message begins.
Your cooperation would be appreciated.
