[lbo-talk] On Labeling in Posts

[Carrol Cox]

I'm trying to reread the threads dealing with the Black Bloc in February,
and I'm being continually frustrated by finding posts in which it is quite
unclear who is being quoted and who is the writer of the post. Shag & Tahir
were particularly guilty of causing this confusion. You cannot assume that
the format o fyour post makes this clear. The writers have to be labeled. 

Of course posts that quoted the whole of the post they were replying to,
said post having quoted the whle of the post being replied to said post
having also quoted the whole of the post being replied to, making the end of
the post impossible to locate -- those posts are hopeless.
