Don Lancaster has written many articles for electronics magazines. Also
regular columns for several electronics magazines (probably still
running). One of his books (CMOS cookbook) was a standard for many
years. You might be able to learn something from him too.

The quoted posts were not as you have posted them. They did not include the
"[Don Lancaster)."
Shame on you, Bud.
The standard English syntax for inserting edited text into a
quote, usually to show meaning that deleted context made clear,
is to enclose it between said square brackets.
Which is to say that, while not commonly used on Usenet, Bud's
quote is proper style. If you read newspapers or news magazines
you will see it used often.
I apparently did not make myself clear. My comment was not about Don
Lancaster, nor did my post in any way allude to Don Lancaster, nor did the
post I WAS commenting on refer to Don Lancaster.
Bud's post did not make a damned thing clear by screwing up and adding
adding "[Don Lancaster]."
Did I make it abundantly clear?
On the other hand, it's nice to hear he did it using proper style.
Don
