HI, Whenever I reply to a message and quote it and then add my comments I get the message "Server responded: Article not posted -- more included text than new text" Why the fuck is this??????? I'm really pissed off because I have to cut so much out of my writing and so much out of the quoted text that its not funny. Damn no!! Jordan J.TH...@student.anu.edu.au
