I have done likewise in the more conventional fashion. It is a shame
you will not follow the usual, courteous practice of trimming the post
replied to and marking its text with carets (greater than signs if you
insist on being pedantic). George Knysh is one of the few who manages
to ignore this practice without causing annoyance. The headers (of
the form 'XXX wrote:'), with inherited carets, usually serve to
identify who said what.

And on the matter of courtesy, if it does not improve, abusive
individuals will be subjected to moderation without further warning.

Richard.
