NAS:-
But somehow you still managed to do just that, as we saw.
And even if such mistakes were vanishingly rare, ..

JE:-
The logic is _very_ simple. If quoted blocks of text
are correctly initialised from the very _start_,
which was _not_ the case here, as our moderator has
recommended (perhaps Josh may wish to confirm such),
then it is almost impossible to mistake authorship.

NAS:-
...there are other
problems. For instance, reading your posts I often get confused as to
who said what *when*.
t's often difficult to see what is reply and
what has gone before.

JE:-
This is the way return sbe _emails_,
format using Outlook. I can see no way
to correct it. However it makes little
difference if the dialog has been
correctly initialised.

NAS:-
Let me illustrate . . .
Ahem. John, would I be wrong to suggest that your contributions to
this newsgroup are entirely worthless?

JE:-
Your hostility remains, palpable.
