In my case, I don?t work with a single definition

too many contexts it is divisive and elitist. That is why, when I must use

speak it, George Carlin broke me of that).
Unfortunately, you seem to have some sort of character set issue; the
quotes you use come out as question marks in the digest version, and
as superscripted numbers in the web archive. I haven't seen the
headers of the individual-message version of this list, so I don't
know what character encoding your messages are originally sent under.
Online archive version of your latest message:

You could also do with a little quote-trimming; while you do reply
inline rather than top-posting, you still insist on leaving in all of
the original message including headers, trailers, and other
irrelevant material, so there's sometimes a lot of excess stuff both
above and below your reply.
Daniel,
This is my very first experience with a Mailing List of any kind. Please
bear with me. Are you saying that, when replying, I should delete all other
material on the original message except the exact statement(s) I am replying
to?
Help!
