[FRIAM] Lardy Lardy!

"If you feed a man some lard....

     ...but if you *teach* a man to lard... "

I don't know what mailtool Nick uses but the style of lardation (my 
coinage, rhymes with "tarnation") Nick affects seems just downright 
hazardous to the reader!   It seems that it is upon one of the Santa Fe 
denizens to sit down cheek-to-jowl (N95-to-Bandana) with Nick and help 
him learn one of the conventional idioms for text-larding.

My own Larding may be faulty I realize because I let it flow from what 
is easy with Thunderbird (my mail tool of choice) and since I (re)read 
my own material in Thunderbird I would never know if it renders uglified 
elsewhere/weiz.

The UNIX mailtool technique/support I grew up with was simply to add a 
series of > like a shell prompt at the start of each line which might or 
might not include a prefix unique identifier:


    />>>line from message three iterations back/

    />> line from message 2 iterations back (presumably in response to
    the line above)/

    /> line from previous message with two "greater than" '>' symbols/

or

    /GEPR>>>>some statement/

    /NST>>> some rephrasing of/commentary on the above statement/

    /GEPR>> pithy retort/

    /SASS > dumbass interjection oblique to pithy retort to rephrasing
    of some statement/

    /current final response to the above by the current correspondent as
    indicated in mail header/

HTML/formatting editors (including T-Bird) seem to do their alternative 
well enough, but I could be biased.
