folks, it's very interesting to note this discussion as being very (visually) difficult to read, because normally i reply to pretty much every discussion and i take particular care to do inline posting and to cut unnecessary context (as is being done here)... but also, from experience, it would seem that i do quite a bit more than that.
what i *also* tend to do is to tidy up the sentences adding line-breaks as well as carriage-returns that separate out the paragraphs. this
I will shorten lines.
helps the people who reply to be able to not only identify the different people in the conversation but also it helps their mailers to add in the correct level of additional indentation - the ">"s before each line.
now, if you *don't* do that, then you end up with an absolute mess: one single ">" per paragraph... but you can't identify it visually because there's *no paragraph breaks*.
ron, it is *almost impossible* to identify what you've written, thus making it much harder to understand what you want to say, and thus leading directly to the confusion and lack of clarity that you're experiencing.
if you would like your ideas to be easier to understand perhaps you might consider switching to "plain text only" mode in your email client
I always write in plain text. If I do not, it is a mistake.
and to re-read any online netiquette rules for email lists once again, paying particular attention to layout and the use of whitespace in replies.

It is difficult to follow your argumentation. You write that you agree and disagree in the next sentence.
No, I do not.

thx ron that's perfect.

you're writing in plaintext... but your mailer is definitely selecting "rich text" (i.e. HTML) to do it.
if you haven't changed anything in your mailer, the action i took to have mailman always do a conversion from HTML to plaintext is doing its job perfectly, so you don't have to do anything.
yay for mailman.
