The program he uses for email by default quotes more or less correctly. With all the help people have tried to give him over these last months and he still does not quote in any regard as a respectable netizen, I am left with little but suspicion. Specifically, that it is intentional. Having been immersed elsewhere in all manner of trollery and disingenuity, I have grown accustomed to recognizing the tricks that can be employed, technical or memetic. Months of "I'm a clueless newbie, indulge me" is pretty old at this point. I don't have a problem with what Jon has to say, after all it is well within the realm of what we have seen before on this list and comes as no surprise. But the claim that he cannot do a simple technical task makes me want to say "TitsOrGTFO" xponent Anonymous, Expect Us Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
