Holy $DEITY, I'm about to defend Jordan a second time. I can't
believe it, either.
Jesse, you might want to wake up and smell the FAQs. Proper
trimming of quotes has been what we like to call "netiquette" for as
long as I've been on the 'net, and regardless of anything else Jordan
may or may not have done, he's certainly applying those rules
correctly.
Note that "Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette"
hasn't changed since 13 May 1995, "A Primer on How to Work With the
Usenet Community" hasn't changed since 23 Sep 1996, and "Hints on
writing style for Usenet" hasn't changed since 29 Sep 1997. Jordan
appears to have naturally internalized and followed most of these
rules (except where your posts have driven him over the edge), and
you very clearly have *NOT*.
While these FAQs are oriented towards USENET news, they are
generally also applicable to Internet e-mail. I would strongly
encourage you to re-read them, or more likely, read them for the
first time.

Oh, great. Now we get into spelling and grammar flames. Sigh....

Uh, no. The answers have already been provided, a long time
back. You're just not willing or capable of understanding what has
been said.
