  I don't know that that's true.

  You are right, of course, I was being sarcastic. Bill Powers wasn't
telling the truth.

I have nothing to say about the content of this discussion, but Bill,
most of your messages on CSGNET are rather difficult to read, because
as above, there's nothing in them to visually distinguish your own
words from what you're quoting of the message you're replying to. Of
the last two paragraphs above, one is Rick's and one is yours. The
problem isn't that my mail reader is ignoring anything at this end:
the underlying text as posted by you doesn't contain any sort of
markup either.

Can you please fix whatever you are using to post with to avoid this?
Proper mail programs automatically prefix quoted text by a ">"

Richard,

I'll see what I can do.

Maybe switching email service.
