That is from the proposal right? It's not universal nor have we told all
fidonet sytems to stop quoting messages over an editor that doesnt use that
proposal standard.

The default SBBS editor is not proposal 0032 compliant either.  Should we
tell all SBBS sysops they have to change software over a proposal that is not
a required standard?  I think NOT.

Granted SBBS can use almost any editor so any one that works for the user's
needs is there.

Your version of 'common practice' is apparently local to your area of the
world.

My quote editor just adds a  > and a space.  Yours adds CS>  and when I quote

It is not that hard to figure out is it?  If it helps any, when i started out
we didnt have automated quote headers and you had to add them then you
started to see > added.  Much later you got initials.

I have no problem with golded.  It's a fine software but not my choice.

So after some snips, you will only stop beating up on me if i swap to golded?
 Is that really what you meant to say or was that a translation problem?  I'm
totally ok if it is an english to your language issue and you did not know
hat this came off as more than a little 'unfriendly' and very 'pushy' because
when working across languages, that can easily happen by accident.  No harm fe
lt here if that is all it is.

Why thank you for calling me an idiot.  Really appreciate that.  I am willing
though to assume much of what is happening here is at least possibly a
language differnce.  Knowing just the words doesnt always show you how they
come over to the other side when it's a second language.

English native speakers, please hold off.  I highly suspect he has no CLUE how
the words added up to be insulting.  Do not use this to vote against him as
he's trying to express something he feels strongly about but to me, is
selecting words that 'work' but unaware how they come over.

If the folks you talk to can not figure ot that > is a qote and >> is a
double quote then I do not know how to make it simpler.  You are not dumb by
any means.  I am sure you get it.  It is not your desired type though.
