You do not know what planet we are on about?
This is most interesting Luigi. Here we all are - boys, girls,
creatures - talking about giving context to postings, what to
quote and what not to quote. We are talking about Jose maybe
returning to a place his younger self's girlfriend's sister (was
it?) mentioned.
Bertrand Russell had a habit of saying quite general things but
adding, I forget if it was in brackets, "except in China"
I am reminded of this as I write my next great work 'How to Quote
on Newsgroups" because I find that I am also making sweeping
rough rules and statements. Except that instead of "except in
China", I am putting "Except on luigi.html"

Of course you didn't, and the attribution isn't saying you did.
Attributions have one less ">" than what they're attributing, by their
very nature.

Mark, can you please sort this one out. Look at the posts
concerned and judge the situation. And tell me and Blinky what
you find. All you have to do is count 'greater than' signs, or
lines (my MT_Newswatcher has these but other mail and newsgroup
ones like Mozilla programs have neat coloured lines and fadings
to keep track rather than the >s) and follow the logic. You are a
young man, at the very height of your powers, objective, a nice
guy as attested lately and can do it. And you are not that busy
right now according to my sources...

more than one line. I have to take them out by hand.
You'd think by this time they'd get it right.

You're both right.
No '>'s in front of what Blinky wrote, so he's right - it wasn't a
quote. And there was nothing in his post except that one paragraph. But
you are also right - he should not have included the attribution line
(or even better should have quoted some of what you wrote). And since he
wouldn't be the first to quote someone without adding greater than signs
(or some other symbol) in front of the quoted text, I think you're a bit
ahead on this one, dorayme.

Thunderbird 1.5 and the latest Seamonkey suite have the bugfix, but
new versions of Netscape are browser-only, with no mail/news. (I guess
removing mail/news could be considered a bugfix too.

And how would one know to *which* "gestalt" one is replying if nothing
Of course not, wouldn't you assume that it is a reference to all of
it's predecessors? I would. That's exactly the effect I intended to
have in my un-quoted post above.
When appropriate I prefer this as well. If the commentary requires
context then by all means use quotes. But if doesn't, it's a waste of
bits and readers' time.

Fair enough. I haven't really used Netscape since version 4. I tried 6
when it first came out, but it was ridiculously slow. Have been using
Mozilla (and then Firefox/Thunderbird) since then.
Never used it for newsgroups anyway.

Ok, I didn't read through this whole thread, so I don't know if an
answer has been given yet, but I thought this might be a fun exercise to
figure out. I think this would work, but is it a good idea to create
rules like this that basically conflict with each other (or are on equal
footing, and so must be decided based on their order), or is this how it
is often done?
..navmain a {color: green; }
a.navselected { color: blue; }
Of course, this assumes that .navselected is only attributed to <a>
elements, I think.

That attribution line was an accident, yes. My bad, on that. But since
the gt count shows that it wasn't pointing to any of dorayme's text, it
doesn't matter. Sloppy, yes -- I was going for not only the humor of my
response, but within that also the NO QUOTING idea that the thread had
been involved with. It was an attempt to parody the "gestalt" response
idea. (I *think* that was going on in this thread, anyway.) The
attribution *to nothing* was sloppy but only confusing to someone who
doesn't understand attribution in general. So far, that seems to be
limted to dorayme.

Thank you for looking at it. And everything, Mark old son. But I
think the situation is worse than you make out. Personally I
don't mind lewd attributions even if they are false. But there
has been a development: I have had the local Catholic priest, the
Anglican rector and the Rabbi knock on my door complaining
furiously and searching my house for magazines.
I tried to explain to them and showed them the posts on my
screen. They screamed at me that the posts showed clearly I had
said what seemed to be attributed to me. I said what news client
did they use but they brushed such things aside as attempts to
distract them with science.
You have put me in a very awkward position Blinky!
See how bad it looks when you actually face the reality at
http://dorayme.150m.com/test/blinky.html
I sidetracked these religious leaders by telling them the one
about about the three friends, a Catholic priest, an Anglican
rector and a Rabbi...
They rolled out in paroxysms of laughter and forgot about it, (I
noticed that the Rabbi had a few of my Chess magazines in his
mits. He plays, you see! But I think it was just an oversight!)
Anyway, they were headed to the pub but I think I will give the
local a miss for tonight just in case....
