I have followed these arguments/discussions for quite a while. It has 
become quite obvious to me that there are basically two ways through this:

1. If you bottom post, remove extra quoting, and such you tend to get 
you questions answered.

2. If you do the opposite you get to be right about it, have lots of 
arguments and don't get your questions answered.

In my experience option 1 works and option 2 leads to no useful results.
