e-mail – more difficult than it looks<\/u><\/b> – it must be…<\/p>\n

Because so many people keep messing it up. I know, I know – the last thing
\n you need is a rant on "in the old days of the net" but that’s just
\n what your in for and you might as well just take your medicine. <\/p>\n

Of course, if you need something to do while I yell you can always go off and
\n surf the pretty girls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s fairly obvious that e-mail<\/a>
\n is one of the best things of the net and that
e-mail
\n discussion lists<\/a> are more popular than ever right now, in many cases replacing
\n the
Usenet<\/a>
\n system.. All this discussion is wonderful, and it leads to a specific problem…
\n keeping track of who said what to whom.<\/p>\n

So I don’t care what you do, or how, but change the text you are quoting ON
\n EVERY LINE. Let your e-mail program do it in html (outlook will indent it for
\n you) or make it bold, or best of all let your software pre-pend a character
\n to each line!<\/b> ">" is the usual one, and has a long and happy
\n history.<\/p>\n

This business of putting:<\/p>\n

Flard says:
\n flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard
\n flard
\n flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard
\n flard flard flard
\n flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard flard
\n flard <\/i><\/p>\n

And I respond:
\n me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me
\n me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me
\n me me me me me me me me me me <\/i><\/p>\n

Is bogus and you will all be first against
\n the wall<\/a> when the revolution comes.<\/p>\n

I am outta here. Gonna go to Hellfire<\/a>
\n and relax for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
