Hi Moose,
Just checking in briefly. I'm going to try to fix Wordswordsman's poorly quoted posts and would appreciate it if you'd help Wordswordsman learn how to quote. When he uses reply quote he actually deletes the close quotes, and that's why his messages seem to get narrower and narrower. He must not understand how they work, and he apparently doesn't care as he continues to post messages with quotes so garbled no one can tell who's saying what.
Added by edit: I see the worst post was by Mammuthus, who for some reason began following the identical technique as Wordswordsman.
Please, folks, either learn to use the quotes or don't use them. Thanks!
I've fixed the worst of the messages in that thread that had poor quoting, maybe five messages in all.

Comment by Adminnemooseus: I suspect that Mammuthus meerly quoted the previous mess, and inadvertantly ended up with a variation of the mess in his message - but maybe I'm wrong.
