Kevin,

I have a very hard time reading your mails.  You quote other people
without properly differentiating between their and your words, even
(save a Cc:) without any attribution at all.  This makes your mails
a royal pain in the ass to read, since you do not provide any hints
from what previous mail you included excerpts (as in a In-Reply-To:
header, to name one widely adopted industry standard), so that even
trying to find the original mail is a quest for a needle in a NANOG
mailbox-sized haystack.

In short: Please learn to quote.  You'll communicate better for it.

	-- Niels.
