Er . . . well, peHruS *does* have to retype the "So-and-so wrote" header.
AOL simply gives you "You wrote," and lots of people have complained about
that, so peHruS takes the time to type it out himself. He also tries to
make it very clear what is someone else's writing, and what is his own.
In fact, you DID say {Day} instead of {Dat}. I noticed it about 15 messages
ago. As far as I can tell, peHruS quotes the original post, using AOL's
Reply button (which is a normal message quote), so whatever is there is your
own writing.
