When quoting previous mesages and the words of others, please be sure to enclose the quotes in quotation marks (") or (') or use a carat (>) before each quoted line.  How hard can that be?  

Otherwise it is not possible to know what you are quoting and what you are saying.  In worst case, it looks ridiculous and as if you are argung with yourself.  When quotes are interleaved in the reply it is even crazier.  

If you are using an editor which shows quotes in different colour or in italics or indented, know this: on BEE-L, your post is not going to make sense.  Just put in the " or the > regardless.  Please!  And also check your own posts from time to time  to see how they look to everyone else.  Just go to Bee-L.org once in a while.  

Think of it as an IQ test.
