My bad on the misquote. I realized it (ambiguity) afterwards, yet figured that everyone would notice that Rob's actual words started afterwards, thus did not explicitly correct. I think the stacked ">" quote convention is ubiquitous, although there is the stacked ":" and stacked "username", as well as others from configurable mailreaders. I cannot attribute the original statement to anyone for lack of record, he or she may claim it if they care.
