At nabble!  Okay, I just went and looked what nabble was as I had no
idea.  From the looks of things it is another mail archiver, like
gossammer, but you are doing some stuff to make conversations better I
imagine.  Okay!

I don't see much point for Nabble, but if people want to use it, it is
up to them.  For me, I have learned (and it wasn't hard) to quote
people correctly.  This means, I don't top-post, and simply delete all
the inappropriate lines.  I admit now and again I do post a quick
reply and top post, leaving all the cruft in there, but most of the
time I try and keep neat.  That's all we have to do.

Anyways, this is getting OT from the original post IMHO.
