Hi Marck,
this time I left the quotation exactly as TB brings it up for me in
any Reply (or just when I copy to the clipboard and then use ALT+INS for
'quote-pasting') - sorry, should've done that the first time round! :)
It's just a habit of mine to prune out some of the quote prefixes
between lines if there are a lot, especially if the quoting level goes
back two or three replies deep ... I just prefer the cleaner look of
*not* having the prefixes in the spacer lines - LOL, and other people
want them!
I've been asked the Terry Pratchett question before ... I haven't read
the books and didn't know there was a Morepork in there. The morepork
here in NZ is our small native owl.
Just noticed your next message:

You're right here in that I think I quoted from two separate messages
and copy-pasted the bits into my reply message.

I'm glad I'm not the only neatness freak around here! :)
