In the context of the thread, I was the 3rd poster, answering the
unanswered questions in the primary post. I would think in context my
post was obvious. I guess I was wrong. Yes, I can paste text from
that to which I am responding (as you can see, above), but in this case
I didn't think it was necessary.

I don't know any other way to read these boards, other than by
thread-context. If there is a way to read my post as an isolated
entity, then what you say makes sense. So my question to you is: how
is it that you can read my post as an isolated entity, yet I read them
as whole threads (10-posts-at-a-time)?

PS: I have no obvious way to change the color of the quoted text (as I
do on other boards), I had to add the ">" characters manually, and I
had to add, "Dr. Bowey wrote:", manually. Would Google Groups Beta
allow some simple bulletin board functions (like those of phpBB, etc.),
I might be more prone to follow better etiquette in these groups.
