My concern was whether it would show what was my text and what was the |
| 46 |
original since they both looked the same. It didn't quote like it |
| 47 |
normally would but it is fairly obvious as to who said what. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The biggest thing, I wanted to let folks know that if someone doesn't |
| 50 |
step up that this package may die. I don't use it myself, although I've |
| 51 |
considered switching to it, but know others on this list do use it. |
| 52 |
Some of them likely have the skills to handle this if they have time and |
| 53 |
choose too. |
