Sucks, and you know it.

Come on; get with the program. Doesn't take a fucking genius to skim a
few messages and pick up on the standard posting scheme in any Usenet
newsgroup.

o Bottom post (or intersperse your comments *after* those of who you're
responding to--same difference).

o The standard quotation marker is ">". Not quotation marks, not
hyphens, not asterisks, not any other cutesy character.

And while you're at it, learn to judiciously trim posts. You don't need
to include every single character in the message you're responding to.
(Classic case: replying to a 200-line post with 2 words.)

Don't be an idiot.
