Let me show you: BAD - ---- on bar, foo wrote: > don't fuck with me bitch > i'll send the boys over, shithead ---- GOOD - ---- on baz, bar wrote: > let's all sit around the fire and sing lesbian seagulls i love you man ---- You see the difference? You don't leave a > on the line trailing the quotation. That's just bad form. Also, wrt, "Plague, and LART will be forthcoming": you're either missing a comma, or you've put an extra in. Should be either, "Plague and LART will be forthcoming," or, preferably: "Plague, and LART, will be forthcoming." But wait! Still more errors! You really mean, "are forthcoming", not "will be forthcoming", right? I hope so. -- Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net> <bod> subtle? <bod> and Overfiend in the same sentence?
