No, I didn't. QWK & co. is archaic and never really existed on this side of the
pond. Being unfamiliar with the technology, I wonder why it should not be able
to do threading, though. And what do you suggest to overcome this? Fullquote
everything?

Yeah, not even trying. You just don't do it.

Care to elaborate on what you would consider "more genuinely"?
What makes you think that your response to a single sentence from me voicing
some criticism that included only a one-sentence quote of what I was replying
to, instead of a two-sentence fullquote of your text, was appropriate?

 DC> Better yet, stop wasting my time.

Being in a public area here, you asked for it. And we'll both have to bear with
each other.

Indeed.
