After 4 or so quote levels, the chances of its having come thru someones
email agent who doesn't know about proper quoting, or worse yet is so
used to winslow and the broken quoting its been doing since dos days,
thinks its doing it right and won't fix it even if called to his
attention, really is quite astronomical.
After all these years, I only object if something not correct has been
miss-attributed to me. And its a better than even bet the first person
to reply to my objection, will do so with an email agent that doesn't do
it correctly. I swear the damned stuff is self-perpetuating.
Sometimes its not pc to be so friendly you ignore the broken stuff. But
these lists would get a lot less "friendly" if the perps were called on
it every time they post. For a while, but once the offenders fixed
their agents, I think they would find a new friendliness to a list that
did enforce it.
Will it actually happen? Chances are I'd have better results offering a
bridge in Sun City AZ for sale...
