~ Pete,
Yeah, the additive quoting is also done on various BBSes, although most I've
seen use about 4 characters or even more for each quote level, so you might see
something like:
-> This is a quote.
-> -> This is a quoted quote.
or even something like:
PL>> This is a line quoted from a message from Pete Lyall.
PL>>
PL>> BI>> This is a line quoted from a message from Pete Lyall quoting a
PL>> line
PL>> BI>> from a message from Bruce Isted.
Needless to say, if the quote adds a few characters each time it doesn't take
very long before the older quotes get pretty chopped up. Fortunately you don't
see quoting back more than 2 levels very often.
Bruce
