#2 Make sure the header refers to what you are posting about, and not some old post from Theodore Dreiser.
#3 Compress your one-liner posts by reducing the "quote header" ["In a message dated..."] to a single line by eliminating extraneous stuff like the time, continent, etc. And eliminate double-spacing, to the extent possible. This is so that readers do not have to scroll down in your message to read that your one-liner about how someone is an idiot for using the "inches" sign instead of the "feet" sign.
