The last time I tried to kindly inform another Mapugger (privately) about this
excessive quoting, I got flamed because "Microsoft whatever mailer wouldn't
allow editing of quotes." He wasn't about to go the trouble of copying/pasting
into a word processor for editing just to make it easier to read for the other
800+. So, when I see a much of hacked up, multi-quoted text, I trash it w/o
reading it.
