Rick is correct that my mail program is configured to use the initials
of the person who sent the quoted message.  My apologies to anyone who
was confused by this or thought that I was responding to Rick's words
rather than Sage's.  I hadn't specifically thought about the possible
confusion, but hope that the context would make it all clear.  Of
course since Rick's name didn't appear on it, I might have been
responding to a posting from "Ronald Adams" or "Ralph Airhead" or
"Regina Angelou".

cheers
