Thanks for the feedback, Guest.

You can always click the link and read it there, Guest. It has been recommended many times by mods that if possible, one post the contents of a link, because links often go dead. I used italics to signify the entire body was cut and pasted, i.e. quoted, and not my own words.

I hear your complaint about that, and in the future will simply start and finish the cut and paste with quotes. Maybe I also need some direction as to when to actually post the contents of a link, and when it is not appropriate.

That advice about pasting contents applies to music threads, not to BS. One screen of cut-and-paste is the rule of thumb devised by Joe Clone many years ago. And if you use <blockquote> </blockquote> around the quoted text, it is inset on the page. <ul> </ul> also works. ---mudelf
Fixed it. The post was well within the traditional one-screen limit, by the way.
