Look above again and find:

It's common USENET practice not to copy an attrib if no quote belongs to it. 
Not everyone counts the number of angle brackets to determine which quote 
belongs to which attrib.  It is usually read in a LIFO manner (Last In, 
First Out) so the quote under the "Don Freeman" attrrib looks like it 
belongs to that attrib.
