I don't think anyone responded yet?  Here is a screengrab from the 
message in question I think.

This is the example we were heckling you about in that moment... some 
are yet more egregious with your text distinguished ONLY by the brackets 
and bolding.  I'm not sure how you achieve your larding...  an extra 
line-feed and indention of the material you are responding to might make 
it easier to parse.  Also, it is redundant for you to tag your own words 
in what is implicitely YOUR message and NOT that of the one you are 
responding to? Leading Glen's (or anyone's) words helps US remember who 
you are responding to (though YOU know it implicitely, we likely forgot 
who said what last?).

I know Glen has implied (stated bluntly?) in the past that he doesn't 
approve of larding... or more likely has more specific issues with 
certain styles of larding?

I find it an efficient method for making this medium/channel *more* 
conversational,  post-hoc editing one's responses into the stream of 
monolog that would have been more of a dialog if we were 
face-to-face?    I think maybe this is what Glen objects to... trying to 
force one form into another?   I think of it as a hybrid that may or may 
not have the vigor one seeks when hybridizing.

I know everyone picks on you here (almost as a blood-sport?) to some 
extent, and it almost seems as if you enjoy it, but I don't want to 
overdo it with the "NickPicking"...  I really am trying to transmit 
(without sitting cheek-to-jowl with you) how you can make your larding 
more conventional and therefore less distracting.

Now, how to deflate my own bloviation...

Carry on!
