Mark, Greg, Romeo, and anybody else: this is the place to hack the quoting thing together, so if you're still not sure, keep posting away. Don't be bashful. Don't feel bad when it don't work, and you rack up a few replies figuring it out. :cool:

It's encouraging to see an attempt. :)

What I want to know is how to quote more than one level of quoting. I do it by hand, but I'm sure there has to be a way to do it automatically.

I don't think we can, since quotes don't show up when we quote a post with quotes within.

That she is not! :cool:

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the angel Gabriel is yet to "blow his horn." From that I infer that the "Eyes of Texas" are still on me, having been born and (mostly) raised in San Antonio (a mere 76 miles from Austin, as I recall). :grin:

But then, I have not been participating in this "fight." So you are free to lead the battle, Julie. ;)
