Do you want people to read your posts?
Or do you just want to piss off your fellow NG members by provocatively
mashing your own post into theirs?
If the former then STOP putting carets (">") at the START of EVERY LINE.
CARETS = PREVIOUS POST
i.e.
ONE CARET: ">" = ONE PREVIOUS POST
TWO CARETS ">>" = TWO PREVIOUS POSTS
AND SO ON.
Therefore, if someone replies to a message by writing:

If you put A CARET at the start of every line SO FAR as ANYONE can see,

Elizabeth and Marco. Obviously they are the same person with
dissociative identity disorder, both of the identities morons. Perhaps
she or he is a shut-in with no other form of entertainment who got
tired of being abused and so created another personality to abuse the
first one in order to feel part of the group. Or perhaps they really
are two separate individuals, both of them morons. Or perhaps they are
the invention of Paul Crowley trying to stay out of first place in the
moron category.
