Responding to the following:

"Which newsreader are you using?  I've also had problems following what
you're trying to say because of your quoting scheme.  All you do to get
the quotes like I have them in this article when using the "rn" newsreader
is use an uppercase 'F' to followup to it.  The command for the nn
newsreader may be similar.  Please try it sometime.  It's much
easier to read this way.  When you've done that, you just delete the
lines you don't feel the need to respond to, and away you go.
(Deleting lines is good.  It's annoying to have to read an article
fifty bizillion times because people include the whole thing when
they're replying to it."

That's precisely why I usually don't use the 'F' command to follow it up.
I would, but I'm new to these editors and don't have a list of commands
anywhere (I'll get them), so I don't know how to delete lines.
