Not at all...

Ridiculous...

1. there is no quoted text when someone asks their question initially -
unless they hijack someone else's thread, which is another no-no on
*any* mail list, and

2. there is no need to reconfigure anything, only a need to take an
extra few seconds to position the cursor and delete unwanted/unnecessary
text.

More asinine ridiculousness, Tom, and you're being disingenuous to boot..

I had suggested possibly using a *real* mail client when it became clear
that you were using Yahoo's WEBMAIL client, NOT OUTLOOK.

Sorry, Tom, you have lost all credibility on this subject - you have
made it abundantly clear by your words and actions that you are simply
too damn lazy and arrogant to even consider that you should take a few
extra seconds out of your
oh-so-much-more-valuable-time-than-everyone-else's to abide by a simple
and politely worded request.

Bite me.
