> Thanks Alex. That's interesting. I hadn't noticed people being warned for that. Maybe I should read more warnings!
heh heh. yeah i read most of 'em. trying to see whether there could be an algorithm... (i think not)
> When I reply by including posts I tend to think of it as the other person's words still hanging in the air, rather than as quotation. When I look at someone else’s words in my post (like your words above) it’s as if I’m still hearing it, rather than repeating it. Maybe because the style of writing on a message board is usually conversational rather than formal. Clearly I’m just plain nuts…you aren't nuts at all. i have a similar thing. it is like i'm having a conversation. more like a spoken conversation.
but...
if its your post...
remember to asterisk the swearwords (if other peoples vaiants get through the system), and yeah, don't 'listen' to incivilities more than once
