I can remember.

;-)
I know about different kinds of delimiters. Some are quite common in
chatrooms and I've also used some of them years ago, but today most
newsreaders are programmed for '>' at the beginning of a line. That's
what makes a quote, like '-- ' makes a signature. It's just a common,
non-written standard, that helps to make Usenet a better place.
But this is _really_ OT here, so EOT.
