When using an Offline Mail Reader, like I (and many others) do, the
thread isn't visible. Instead of trying to do it differently than
everyone else, and differently from the way it's been done for decades,
why don't you just quote the messages you are replying to? It's not difficult. If you need some pointers on how to do it, just ask.
Thanks.

That's because you're not doing it right. The ">" symbol should go on
the left side of the text you are quoting (what the previous poster
said), but *NOT* in front of the new text that you are writing. It's
really not difficult, and most any editor will do it automatically. If
you need some pointers on how to do it, just ask.

What brand of router are you using was the question. Do you have a favorite?

I'm using an old small form factor PC, running a specialized Linux
router distro called "IPFire". Very configurable and works great. I've
been using it for about 15 years.

Prior to that, I used to use various Linksys brand routers, often with a
third party software (OpenWRT / DD-WRT) installed. They seemed to work
well also.

I have a Netgear WNR2000 that gets the job done. Note that it is a router
only and not a cable modem. For the modem, I have a Motorola SURFboard
5101U. You will want to check and make sure that the modem is compatable
with your provider. It should be but you will want to make sure.

Here, the last time I changed a modem out, I had to contact my provider to
let them know some info (MAC ID, I think) so they could reset it on their
end.

I do not have any experience with a modem/router combo so I cannot offer
any advice there.

Yeah, maybe on the 40-column toys you're talking about. Hello. Welcome
to the 21st century and modern BBS'ing. Before you try to whip out the "retro" card, I'm reasonably sure I've been doing this longer than you,
and even in the early 90's quoting was the de-facto standard on any kind
of BBS. The people doing the non-quoting thing here lately are on modern
BBS software and are either ignorant or stubborn to not be doing it the
way that is generally accepted. Your mileage may vary, but I don't care.

Okay, about the same then. Not sure why you don't remember that quoting

I do *NOT* usually quote an entire message, and do exactly what you're suggesting - show only the relevant bits.

It being whatever year it is is
irrelevant. Some of us like to use old
computers. I'm on a C64 right now, in

So, in a previous message, you said it *WAS* hard on some computers, and that's why some people don't do it. Now you say it is very easy. Quite
a flip-flop there. So is your position now that the non-quoters are
doing it out of willful stubborn-ness or ignorance?

I think that's the direction they're going with this. It's not hard to do, and it (quoting relevant bits) makes discussions that much easier to follow. Your 40 columns, and quoting, seems to work just fine for what it is.

When someone doesn't quote a message they're replying to, I usually don't try to go back to whatever message they're replying to to try to understand the conversation. I just hit the "next" key.

As far back as I can remember, whether it be BBSing, newsgroups, web forums, etc. Quoting has always been kind of an "etiquette" thing. If you don't choose to, that's fine, but you probably won't get as many responses as you would if you did. :)

I think they are thinking only about themselves (not intentionally) and think they in the same environment as a one on one chat.

I usually remind them to quote a few times and when they don't I just twitfilter them. These types of people are only around for weeks anyways.

That's possible. But in this case, there may actually be something wrong.

I guess this guy said something about people complaining about his ">" , which is pure bullshit.

Two messages before the one I'm replying to, was from you to "all". There, it seems as though when you quoted the text it wrapped the ">" characters into the rewrapped quoted text. Here is one of the paragraphs you quoted:

" >I suspect that for people who were already adults and working "

" they are now in their >80s and 90s, if not older, and we'll continue to "

Don't quote that again, as it will mess up even more, but there is definitely something wierd happening somewhere.

Let's figure out what the actual problem is, and get it fixed. Most of us aren't trying to harp on anyone, or put them down. Personally, if something is indeed broken, let's figure it out and get it fixed!

maybe you can before you get too old too.. then you'll be just like your best bud MRO, At first I thought you to be pretty cool because you were arguing with him.. Then it did'nt take too long to realize you're just like him.. "Birds of a feather"..

Ya'll keep going with that self-validation, we all know you're better, smarter and faster than us.. I don't know why you need to keep reminding everyone..

Dumb and Dumber.

The good news is that both of these dimwits will get tired of "running a BBS" and be gone in a few months.

Never really get tired of running a bbs, just get tired of seeing
constant messages from the likes of you..

And yet... you keep replying. Like a broken record.

So do what you and your 'Dumb and Dumber' new buddy keep harping on - hit
the Next key and STFU. Easy!

Hahaha, so you're not only an "entitled" n00b, but clueless about most everything. I see. Okay.

what keeps making you think I'm a n00b?? I was on dovenet before
the best part of you run out your moms mouth.. keep telling

Yeah, real classy comment. You're making yourself look good here.

If you think me and MRO are "best buds", you're *FAR* more clueless than previously thought. Dumb and dirty, both.

Go away, dimwit.

I'm not sure i've ever seen a bbs with no quoting. I'm sure there might be a few that don't. It's not one i'd like to use for messaging.

None of the Atari 8-bit BBSes I ran (beginning in Jan 1984) had quoting. Some of them had to delete their own initialization lines in order to free up enough memory to run and do much of anything... it was what it was back then. But these "40-col toys" were the predecessors to what we are doing now and back then, they were pretty fucking fantastic.

Some folks arent happy unless theyre complaining about something..
regardless of what message reader someone is using, it's fairly easy to
follow a conversation, or if it's that complicated, just hit next :-)

Another one who doesn't understand what an "offline mail reader" is. <sigh>

I understand fully what an offline mailreader is.. It's not like

No, you clearly don't.

Probably been running a BBS longer than you, had my 1st BBS in 1986.
Why don't you gripe over real issues that actually matter?.

At least you and the other couple of recent resident morons will be gone soon enough, when the "BBS experience" is no longer new and shiny for
you.

Yeah, real classy comment. You're making yourself look good here.

I don't care how I look to you or people like you.. You formed your opinion of me that day you errantly told me I was wrong in a message thread myself and a developer was having about his software that had not a damn think to do with you. then when you were proven wrong, you were still so full of yourself that you just let the conversation kinda "go" away without a oh I'm sorry or screw you or anything..

I don't have a need to prove myself to people like you anymore.. Now I just live to piss people like you off, and I know the right buttons to push..

Einstein.. thats a good name for you.. since you know everything about.. well everything... wow you're just so unfoulable.. I bet your crap don't stink either. I was always taught not to hate the person, just to hate their ways.
I try so hard to stick to those teachings, unlike some people I was raised with some dignity and to treat others as I'd like to be treated, but people who act like you just really bring the worst out of me. I will continue to troll you until either you go away or you just filter me, or I get kicked off DoveNet, but hey Rob lets people like you and MRO stay on here with the crap yall do to others, so I don't worry about that much.. (nothing against you Rob, I know exactly why you don't ban people) free speech is a good thing. So um.. until next time.. Take Care..

maybe you can before you get too old too.. then you'll be just like your
best bud MRO, At first I thought you to be pretty cool because you were
arguing with him.. Then it did'nt take too long to realize you're just
like him.. "Birds of a feather"..

If you think me and MRO are "best buds", you're *FAR* more clueless than previously thought. Dumb and dirty, both.

I only call you Best Buds because you act just like him, You are a bully who is too full of himself to ever be wrong about anything, even though you are wrong a good bit, Just Like he Is.

Hell yall are Twins.. Call Me Dumb and Dumber all you want with anyone around here.. I don't care.. I'd rather be Dumb than to be an egocentric twit. Being dumb can be changed by a little education and I learn something new everyday. Egocentric Jerks like you never change and you end up dying lonely in some basement somwehere vacuming cheetos out of your keyboard.

As I said earlier.. Take care.

I guess this guy said something about people complaining about his ">" , which >is pure bullshit.

He had at least one message in one of the Synchronet support echoes where the whole thing, including his respsone, came out with ">" at the beginning of
each line. I don't know if anyone "complained" but at least one person,
DM, pointed it out to him and mentioned it made it difficult to figure out
what text was the poster's and what was quoted.

Sounds like he may have an issue on his end. I also got the impression he
is visual impaired which may also make it more difficult to notice (for
him) what is going on when he replies.

I can remember when quoting was introduced into some popular BBS softwares.
Before then, you either had to be using an offline reader that did
quoting, or you had to manually add it yourself somehow.

maybe he typed it in there by hand because that's what he thought he was supposed to do.
