I totally missed Alfred's rant because he replied at the top.  When new text is
at the top of a message, I automatically assume there is nothing new further

If the first line of a message begins a quote (such as the first two lines of
this post), I look for inserted pieces and then follow through until the quoting
level is up a couple (I stop at >>>>>>).

On topic:  I never intentionally visit MOC pages and had no idea it had such
comments.  Brickshelf is as far as I get and even then, only when a link in
lugnet.announce or lugnet.general directs me there.
