Subject: 'the art of quoting' or 'FAQ: links that should be added'

Hi!

I first wanted to send the following in a PM to Hal but facing the
recent TOFU (Text On-top of Fullquote) orgies posting it seems to be
a better idea.

The German version of the FAQ has a pointer to http://learn.to/quote
(that's 'Wie zitiere ich im Usenet?' by Dirk Nimmich). An english
version (the translation is not *that* good but good enough) entitled
'How do I quote correctly in Usenet?' does exist and is available at

    http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

I think this text should be linked in the english version.

Because many formal issues result from the use of OE the german
version also has a pointer to the 'FAQ zu Microsoft Outlook Express'.
There seems to be no translation but there is a similar page in
English available at

    http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/index.htm

I suggest to add this to the original FAQ, also.
