Yes, Daniel, but sometimes different newsreaders format stuff differently.
Sometimes a chevron (or two) gets missed and it ISN'T clear who said what.

I'm still smarting from having things invented and then quoted as being from
me, I don't need to have other things ascribed to me because some chevrons
were missed or it isn't abundantly clear what I DID say and what I didn't...

This is a public forum. What we say here is released to the world at large
and can be accessed in years to come by people we don't even know. I have
already had people say to me (on being introduced, and NOT computer people)
that they read something on the web which I wrote years ago.

I will gladly stand by what I have said; but I am damned if I'll stand by
and let some retard twist what I say, or invent what I say, or simply
assume what I said is part of what someone else said.

I will strenuously ensure there is no shadow of doubt about what I did say,
as I have done here (and elsewhere).

Pete.
