   If I simply hit "reply", it strips quoted material from the post to   
   which I respond.  If, OTOH, I select text, it includes the text I have   
   selected whether quoted or not.  Is that why yer knickers are in a   
   wad?   
      
   You're being deliberately obtuse about a simple matter, Headley.  I   
   dislike threads where the quoted material becomes tedious.  I also   
   disapprove of the "interruptive" style of reply wherein the respondent   
   pastes his or her writing into the existing post at various points.   
   To that end, I wrote some simple selection logic (IF-THEN-ELSE) into   
   the source code and ran it through the C compiler.  Any sharp high   
   school programmer could do the same given source code.   
      
   NNTP newsreaders are pretty simple... the NNTP protocol is absolutely   
   archaic.
