Sylvie McGee's (hope I got that right) is well taken. Excessive quoting is something I periodically try to cajole subscribers into avoiding (with you can imagine how much success) We've had a thread going today on AUTOCAT with triple and even quadruple quotes and a gateway has started sending them back as errors due to the excessive quotes compared to the original material. That, I don't need. For your average list subscriber, you coax them into not doing that sort of thing as best you can. But to see experienced listowners doing the same sort of thing is disheartening.
