A note, the ">" are inserted by the posting software to show what was quoted.
This is done by most software out there, including most newsreaders likely to
be used (for example, Netscape, which I use on RTL), as well as by the web
posting interface that some (including me) use here. You should leave those
alone for lines that you want to quote in your message.
you should NOT put ">" in front of your own words, nor do you need to say

No offense taken. I think it was a good question and it's one that I ask myself

People that are trying to learn as opposed to being deliberately clueless or
