|Not to mention if a thread gets complicated, so that a person could be |responding to any one of a dozen messages that speak to different aspects |of a topic. Let me add: your mileage (or is it kilometerage?) may vary (and I often use the DIGEST distribution). On the lists that I frequent, a point-by-point rebuttal is not required, though when it is, then of course some sort of intelligent quoting is required. Most folks don't: it's just easier for THEM to REPLY with the entire text regardless of levels of quoting, and who quoted who. There is no one right way to do. /Pete
