Well, your quoting style often makes it difficult to see what you wrote and what you're responding to, since you tend to put the quoted material right above your reply with no markers such as angle brackets to distinguish them. Then you "double-quote" by including a fullquote of the message you're replying to below your reply (this one marked with angle brackets, unlike the other quote), making your message wastefully long. It would be better to trim the quotes, leaving the angle brackets in place, and interleave your replies in the traditional manner.
Just for everyone's information, LaraLove has posted on AN/I that she was not informed of this thread's existence. In particular, she has taken exception to a comment implying that she was a poor parent. Whatever one thinks of this particular encyclopedia page, or the external link, or the whole cabal/bathrobe thing, or even the "pictures of the kids" thing...it's still rude to make such an insulting comment on what is actually an official Wikipedia mailing list. I've already deleted the post in question, but perhaps someone with a smarter computer (or brain) than mine can let the involved poster know that perhaps an apology is in order?
