The problem with that is demonstrated by your example. The quoting
is somewhat incorrect or at least misleading. The quote heading says
"Todd ...", but the quote was actually something that Todd quoted. I
do note that there is an extra level of quote markers, so someone
could realize that, but it's not obvious and there's no indication
who was being quoted. _
yes, that's right, I was only concerned about the reply-to-a-point
issue.
