I would like to profusely apologize for using "Excerpt" in my comments for places I excerpt other content, although, I am hoping you'd understand that the reason I do that is for my own way of organizing my own notes... Yes, I understand that HN is a public forum, so in order to please the forum rules and regulations, so from this point forward I will try hard not use "excerpt". Even though I will try not to, if I do it in the future, then understand it was an old habit ingrained upon my stiumulus-response cortex, but nonetheless, I will make a concerted effort not to.
You're an awesome HN user. Don't sweat it for one second. Thanks!
If you simply put "> " in front of what you're quoting, it signifies the same thing. Or you can put it in double quotes, or put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.
Conversely, you are an awesome HN Admin! Keep up the great work with HN! <g>
The trouble with the way you're doing it is that it signals that the entire comment is an excerpt, and since you've done it a bunch of times, that makes your account look like a single-purpose account or a bot, neither of which are allowed here. I was going to post a totally different reply asking you not to do those things, and then I noticed that actually you're posting normal replies with a nonstandard header.
