JohnM,

 

Yes, I like that style , but I would we still include a way to see levels? I think it might get difficult when the thread is more than two levels (of back-and-forth) deep. That is, without indents or ">>>" to also tell level, it is hard to know which pieces belong to which level of replies.

In this par I tell you what is right. You may include:

[PG earlier]:

as well. I think it was a German who designed this way of posting.

No confusion, no technical tricks, simple peasant correctness.

It is still not fair, because it looks as if my reply came upon your remark and you had nothing to add after that. One has to wait for the nex posting, when YOU are the smart one and I couldn't reply.
