Chuck *is* a righteous dude... I'm with you, Iggy, as to a preferred quoting mode. But while I used to think of it as an netiquette issue, I now see it as a Ford vs. Chevy, Coke vs. Pepsi, Poached vs. Sunny-Side-Up... type of thing. Me, I drive Audis, drink iced tea, and eschew eggs except when disguised as cakes, Mayonaisse, etc. -dq
