   What /is/ the suggested protocol for responding to a post through   
   anther's followup?  Sometimes you can pop back and find the post you're   
   responding to, but sometimes you can't, and sometimes you're think   
   you're going to respond to both authors but then you don't.   
      
   I would be tempted to change the attribution line to "Snipe quoted:"   
   because that respects the threading.  Would you prefer that the   
   attribution line is removed completely, but the quoted portions retain   
   the full amount of guzintas?  Is there something else you recommend?
