1. Internet illiterate? Not really

You've gotten better, but a two easy steps would go a long way towards
making your posts easier to read. First is to properly surround your
quote so that it is easy to identify. What you need to be readable is
that after the quote, ON A SEPARATE LINE, put two "less than" signs.
You already have it but it's not on a separate line, so it's hard to
tell at a glance from the rest of the post. Put it on its own line, and
the eye can just travel down the margin and find where you end.

Second is to be selective in what you quote, for two reasons - first is
clarity, and second is to avoid selecting a signature (because anything
after a signature is hidden in some readers, and that will hide the
point you are trying to make afterwards!)

It still won't be internet standard, but it will at least be legible.
