D'oh! It just means you've deleted parts of the post you're responding to that
aren't relevant to your reply.
I'm resisting the impulse to "snip" this one, but look at how much stuff
everybody has already read is repeated in your post. Cut out the crap that
doesn't relate to what you're saying. It ain't that hard to do. It's simple
courtesy.
I apologize to the digesters.
And I figure I'll get flamed for this, but I'm fireproof.
