I urge you to adopt the universal Usenet convention of preceding
quoted text from previous articles with "> ".  See every other
followup article in this and other newsgroups for examples.

Everyone understands it, virtually everyone but you uses it, and
(almost?) every Usenet client fully supports it.  I can think of no
reason not to use it, unless your goal is for your posts to stand
out from others in a rather unpleasant way.

I mentioned before that your scheme seemed like a lot of effort.
In fact the level of effort is irrelevant.

You will of course do what you want, and I don't intend to discuss
it further.
