/* ---------- "quoting past messages" ---------- */
Could people PLEASE stop quoting the entire message they're replying to?
We've already READ the message...Let's keep the volume down!

True, the entire message is seldom needed.  HOWEVER (the dreaded "however"),
I don't know what system you're on, but I often get the replies before (WAY
before) the message.  If a person is going to "waste his time" wading through
all this trash on the net, it's nice to know what the holy hell people are 
talking about...
