The purpose of a list is for communication. When points are discussed clear communication requires referencing previous messages. If everyone quotes messages with "> " then you can have several levels of quoted text and it will still be readable. I am not aware of any other way of quoting that allows multiple levels of quoting that are clearly readable, quoting the entire previous message doesn't work as the reader would have to read all previous messages and try to figure out which section was referenced. For any form of communication there will be a variety of social norms which make things easier for everyone. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
