~ 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
