John 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. Nothing was deleted! So? Did anyone claim there was? 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. The style may be proper by your standards - certainly not mine - but Bud's useage meets widely accepted and well known English. What *you* think about it is immaterial. the [content] is dead wrong. Nowhere did I refer to Don. We were talking about The Phantom. Provide some context that demonstrates it then, because it doesn't appear to be what you are now claiming. -- Floyd L.
