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. > The grammer is fine. Please read the dictionary. Oh, great.
