[Tutor] Fwd: Difference between types

[Steven D'Aprano]

Citizen Kant,

will you please fix your email quoting? As it is, you are plagiarizing me, by quoting me word for word without attribution or any hint that you are quoting me.

Do you notice that everyone else quotes people by name, and prefixes their words with > quote marks? This is the normal standard on email. If you are using something that breaks that standard (possibly Gmail?) and cannot set it to follow the normal rules for quoting, then you are going to frustrate and annoy people, possibly to the point that they banish your emails to the "kill-file" and stop answering your questions. Harsh, but a fact of life.

If you ask, I'm sure people who know more about Gmail will help you fix your settings.

Thanks,
