Oh, good grief.
In the above:
>>> is Mark
>> is Clive
> is Ken
As far as I and many (most) Usenet posters are concerned, this is a correct
attribution. Stuff with one arrow is the attributed person; stuff with more
than one is material that person quoted.
Similarly, in the original post I attributed Mark because I was quoting his
post, but some of the text in my post began ">>", because it was Mark
quoting Andrew.
Happy now?
