1. I have found Clive to be friendly and informative, as well as
incredibly tolerant of even the most misinformed whinging twits (far
more than I am, and I consider myself tolerant well above average).

over snipping attributions is misplaced or overemphasized. But in an
instance like this, the post seems really bizarre without it.
