Wally, why do your posts have > at the beginning of each line?
I've missed a lot of your answers cos I couldn't find them.
The current post is supposed to be like mine looks here.
The person I'm replying to should start each line "> " to show they
wrote before me.
The post they were answering (if quoted) start each line with an extra
one - "> > "
But the current post shouldn't have the ">" in front.
You don't need to insert any "> " cos the news reader does it for you.

You learn a little more each day.
I stand corrected, wrist severally slapped, "ouch".

Well, there you go, I'm glad I asked!
You see how what you wrote has had "> " shoved on the beginning of each
line?
Honest, nothing to do with me, OE did it for me!
But it makes snipping easier thus making posts shorter so our servers
can carry more posts.
How can you do it right if you don't know?
You didn't get wrists slapped, honest:)
((((((wally))))) - do you feel better now?
I'm glad you didn't mind me asking - some people get really mad over
being asked things like that!!
