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
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
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.
