The replies to my post about too much quoting have been a perfect example of 
the sort which are tedious to listen to with speech.

They start with more than one level of nested quoting, and end with a few
comments last. If the comments had been placed first, they would have been
perfectly understandable on their own, and I could have dumped my speech buffer
when the quotes which should have been at the end started.

Now you all did understand this post, even though I did not quote any of the 
previous posts. <G>
