Don't send out HTML, please. Especially, if you don't make
use of HTML features, as it then only wastes bandwidth
with nothing useful being added.

Yep. And it should NOT be your way. Full quotes don't make sense.

Yep. Then don't do it.

Yep. That's why bullshit like this shouldn't be done. Quotes should
be done in the way I do it. Not because I do it (that's no reason),
but because that's the way it's been done for a long time and (more)
importantly, because it's been proven to be good.
