Re: Thoroughness?

So you are gaining "Thoroughness" by replying to an exactly reproduced quote in your new reply.

Yes. You'd rather I use inexactly reproduced quotes in my replies instead?

Why do you want to be so thorough? Do you feel it is required of you, that you will be thought less of if you do not live up to your self set standard?

Because it's so trivially easy to do so? Because I'd prefer not to use inexact quotes or paraphrasing? Because it makes it easier for the reader to follow?

What does this do for you, to answer words so carefully?

It gives me a big throbbing hard-on.

If no one read your reply would you feel the same way?

I don't know. Don't read this reply and I'll let you know.

I feel that your answer of "Thoroughness" is not the whole story and there is a much larger issue under the surface that you do not feel comfortable talking about. To see you answer a quote with one word is a very rare event!

What, are you a psychoanalyst or something? Gee, Doc, what issue under the surface causes one to obsess over the use of quotes in message replies? You wanna really do some obsessing? Head over to the newsgroups. rec.audio.high-end is a good place to start. You'll find nearly everyone participating in the newsgroups *HORRORS!* quoting messages in their replies.
