I can ask, if you'd like. I think it's pretty standard for blind users
to use screenreaders like JAWS, and I know they can get frustrated by
long indented stuff quoted before the "meat" of a post. But they're
frustrated by so much of the abled world. ::)

I just wanted to raise this so that if you send to a list/group that is
more likely to have visually-impaired users, you might crop the quoted
stuff and respond above... but it's mostly a kindness than a necessity.

best, Joe
