Anthony, could you possibly stop this practice of including the other
person's signature at the end of your replies unquoted? This is an
example,
where you included Jay's "Jay." on a line by itself before your signature
below, without quoting it at the right level.
Please don't do this, as what you're effectively doing is attributing your
words to someone else. I don't see that you need to include it, since you
include a standard citation leader ("On 10/20/05, JAY JG <
jayjg(a)hotmail.com>
wrote:"). If you do feel the need, please indent it with your standard
quotation indent ("> " or whatever) to make it obvious that it's part
of
the
quoted text and NOT your reply?
That's what I usually try to do. If I didn't do it that particular time, it
was accidental. I'll have to look into what gmail is doing in this
situation.
Anyway, I guess I can leave out the signature completely. You're right that
it's in the leader, it just seems weird when I sign my name but the other
person's name isn't there, like I'm trying to take away their signature or
something.
Sent to WikiEN-L because your apparent mailing address is clearly
spamtrapped.
Clearly? Actually, it's not spamtrapped at all. I'll spamtrap it if I start
getting a lot of spam.
