John (Volan), I trust you use a news reader that follows threads, if not
it is VERY hard to follow and respond to news coherently. In particular,
the example message you just gave indeed had no context, because you
started a brand new thread. It is true that if you follow messages blindly
in sequence, then you might even get to like these horrible quotes.

So, John, just for interest, do you follow threads, or do you read messages
sequentially (I bet the latter!)
