   Yeah, if it'd just give us a way to respond with the original text   
   marked like it is on Usenet it'd be fine, why they need everything in   
   code is beyond me.

   The only reason that I ever started to post replies like this was   
   because of advocates on Usenet and their propensity for forgetting what   
   they had just said in a thread (especially if my reply had anything to   
   do with challenging their point).  That doesn't seem to be a problem in   
   WAG forums, oddly enough.  ;)
