OK... lets see... how to format a post... First one should have the "attributions". That's the part where it says "[Name of poster] wrote:". Some people trip on that one but you got it right (you can think of it like this: You are the person who writes the word "wrote", so that goes on your level, not "one down"). Michael De Tomaso wrote: > "Homer.Simpson" wrote: > > Michael De Tomaso said > >> Then the quoted text with lines beginning with '>' characters. In this case three '>>>' means "written by Michael De Tomaso", two '>>' means "written by Homer.Simpson", one '>' means "written by Michael De Tomaso" and no quotes at all means "written by Veronica Karlsson". > >> Greetings Group, > >> Don't! The logic is: you are posting here, so it is for the group. "Greetings" are unnecessary and a waste of space. Go straight to what you want to say. Also, that line should have been cut out in the follow-ups. > >> I'm looking to know "How-To change Font in Outlook Express" so that I > >> can better enjoy the art work in this newsgroup, etc. > >> This is your message.

It tells the reader that the post ends here. That's good. BUT... it should have been removed from the follow-up (the reason *I'm* not removing it is because I'm commenting on it). > > It's in the FAQ: > > http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/aaafaq.txt > > > > (and turn off that evil HTML!) > > > > Welcome, this is a great newsgroup. ;-) It is. :) > > Well gee, ty, > > ...

No, using html is just annoying. Note how I have removed some text from the "commandments" picture. Also note how your latest post should be at the end, not the beginning.

You might need to squint a bit.
p.s. I added a scrotum for the hell of it...
