Ah. So I hear now :-)
%
% But I hereby create a new acronym - especially for you:
% ELQ - the "Empty Lines Quoter". Here's your prize:
Hey, cool!
That's great, because I've thought for a long that something like
% >>here is some text
% >and a comment
% >>and some more
% you said it
what?
is much more difficult to read than the original expanded version.
That's why I started putting blank lines between the original body
and my reply after only a few months of replying the scrunched-up way.
FWIW, I don't use color and so retorts like "but it's green and then
blue and then green again; it's obvious!" are fairly unproductive.

Please buy me all three of pickanotherone.{com,org,net}; I like to be
thorough.
