| I would like permission (both from you [Lee Storm] personally and from
| the elves) to start an experiment: zero quote posting.

<Large Snip!>

[Lee]:
In a word, no!  If I write something, I've taken care to make what I write
as coherent as possible.  However, as Shaun pointed out so well, there is
always room for misinterpretation and quoting/paraphrasing out of context no
matter how well a post is written.  For those of us with screen-readers, it
would be a nightmare (or daymare), through which I would not wish to slog.

Please, Jordan, (and if the elves want to hang me for this, I shall hang
proudly!), if you really don't like the way this list is running and feel
you must find so much fault, perhaps this group/community isn't for you.
Perhaps you might feel better starting your own group with your own
rules...I don't know.  But I can see that the elves have been very willing
to go over and over this all with you, and I have done my best to enlighten
you, along with Sherry's help, as to how those of us who are visually
challenged applaud the present rules and appreciate the helpfulness of the
list elves.

I, for one, have explained myself, rules, etc., as far as I can and still
have some sanity.  I have said all there is to say, I believe, and hope that
you will try to enjoy the good conversations you can have in these groups,
adhering to the rules set forth by the list elves.

And, my Elfly Friends, if I've stepped over the line here, I apologize to
you in advance.  I truly feel this whole thing has gotten a bit overly
nit-picky and much ado about nothing, so to speak, and needs to be given a
rest!  The list rules are what they are; I, for one, appreciate them and try
to comply to the best of my capability.  That's all the elves ask of us.  In
return, they give us a wonderful place to meet with e-friends and discuss
something that's a lot of fun for all of us...the HP Universe.

Thank you, Elves!

Lee :-)
