[Boost-users] Reply formatting plea

When people reply without a blank line separating new from quoted text:

  > quote somebody saying something
  > about something they said
  Your reply to the original poster's 
  thesis, or even:
  >
  > quote somebody saying
  > something about something they
  > said
  > 
  Your reply to the quoted text

It gets really hard (for me, at least) to distinguish what you wrote
from what the other person wrote.  I know this seems nitpicky, but I
ask that anyone who can tolerate it leave a blank line around replies,
as follows:

  > quote somebody saying something
  > about something they said

  Your reply to the original poster's 
  thesis, or even:

  > quote somebody saying
  > something about something they
  > said

Thanks,
