I do if the identity of the writer seems especially pertinent to the thread. I hadn't noticed that it was the norm to do so, although a quick look at a few recent posts show that it is more common than I had realised, although by no means universal. Quite often when quotes are attributed they are mis-attributed. This is OK if you are lavishing praise (people tend not to complain) but can be a problem if doing otherwise :-) RM -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
