Bill, if you go back and read all of the messages in this thread, you
will notice that there is something different about where your responses
are placed compared to how everyone else 'talks'.
That's because everyone else is having a conversation with each other,
but /you/ aren't. So, your words look funny where they are and don't
fit in. If everyone conversed like you, the conversation would be
upside down; but instead, your part is upside down and their part is
rightside up.
Here's an article about the subject in a website for new newsgroup
participants.

What is "quoting" in newsgroup postings? - Q2: How should I use the
quoted text and arrange it with my own text?
It is really very simple. When you hit reply, you don't start typing,
you start trimming, except for the attribution. When you get to a part
which represents the words you are going to reply to, you skip a line
and type your words under there. Then you trim the rest of the way to
the bottom, unless you find some more words you need to type under.
