I was able to distinguish Luddite's post from your reply without no
Steeenkin "separator". Who did what to make that happen?


I left his whole signature line in my reply. I usually cut them
because some people here like to make big political statements over
and over again using their signature line as the vehicle.


I honestly, cross my heart, pinky promise that "Hope you're having a
great day!" is not meant to be
political. I suppose Kevin or someone could (and would) argue that,
but that's my story and I'm
stickin' with it.


(have no clue what to do here)

John, I wasn't referring to your signature line obviously. I
usually strip them in replies as a matter of habit.
Signature lines are nice and everything but if a thread gets long with
many replies that quote everything previously said, it gets old having
to scroll down through all the quotes and repeated signature lines
(especially the political agenda ones) just to see that somebody
added, "Cite".

I try, not always successfully, to cut previous quotes that are not
germane to a reply or comment I intend to add. Keeps it cleaner for
me and minimizes erroneous attributes which seem to happen quite often
here.

I know, I know. That was what you'd call a 'tongue in cheek' reply!

Oh, and BTW, again your post was deleted when I hit the 'reply' button. It's above only because I
pasted it there. Really weird.


He must have caught the *Donnie can't post correctly* disease.
