Cyg, I understand list etiquette but I'm referring to *human* etiquette. Steve asked for help, got help but rather than acknowledge it (and add a note at the bottom to *politely* tell Vince that he should find a way to sanitize email addresses out of his replies), he just jumps aggressively on the quoting issue (and confused things in the process because he, I assume, meant to say "email addresses" instead of "email directly", which doesn't parse well in english).

So I stand by my observation, Steve acted like a dork here.
