Rant: There, fixed that for ya...

I am so sick and tired of people who think they are so clever to reply to someone else on a mailing list, EDITING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS, and then covering with the oh-so-bright "There, fixed that for you." comment. Hello jackass, why don't you form an intelligent reply and submit that to the list and refrain from editing quoted text from someone else. If I happen to jump straight into a message in some archive via a Google search or such and I see a quoted message then I don't REALLY know what the quoted message was if some super-smart guy decides to "fix" someone else's quote, do I?

Please, if you have taken up this bad habit, give some thought to quitting. It isn't nearly as witty as you believe it is.
