I'd like you to recheck it and put those parts quoted by me from other sources (indicated by italics in the original) in italics. Otherwise it's not possible for the reader to tell where I end and the quotes begin.

I took care of this for you, Bill. Bill's a great writer so I trust him that he knows when to use italics  |

When we lift a story or article off the forum and transfer it, we lose the italics. Maybe we could come up with an agreed upon code for indicating where the italics should be reinstated. Possibly (i) at the beginning and ending of each sentence or phrase we want in italics so we don't have go back to the forum to find where they should be placed. This would save time and would also format the story exactly as the writer visualizes. I agree with Mitch. You're a helluva writer, Bill, and your stories should be formatted exactly as you desire.
