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 at 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?

Sent to WikiEN-L because your apparent mailing address is clearly
spamtrapped.

Thanks in advance,

-Matt
