Kevin, I couldn't tell who was saying what either. I would repeat
the customary plea for people to not use HTML if at all possible.
Try harder to find the settings in your email client, or in a dropdown
menu somewhere, or on the web page from where you are posting.
Not only that, a lot of people just skip HTML because of the
inevitable top-posting, bottom posting, and general confusion
attending such posts. Not only that, but it's felt that serious
posters---people who want their ideas to be addressed seriously
---will take the pains to avoid HTML.
Look below for a perfect example.
Lee

My apologies. The message posted was from you and I did not see that that portion of the message was from Samantha.

I, John Grigg, did not write what Kevin Freels attributed to me. Please see below:

resurrection mythological belief wheeled out to give some (very thin
when you examine it) comfort to the bereaved. Methinks we will take
ending aging and mandatory death much more seriously when we stop coming
up with such myths and beliefs.
