Archived thread problems with displaying quotes leads to a bit of confusion.

I was looking at the following archived thread -- after finding it via Google -- and at first it seemed like there were words in my posts that were attributed to me but were clearly not mine. I quickly realized that they are definitely not my words but were words I had quoted from a previous post but which had the formatting stripped out. Here's the thread:

Is this a standard issue with the archived FT threads? Any resolution already in play or going forward?

Given my tendency to quote other posts, this led to some amusing "self-discovery" outcomes. (c.f., oliver2002's words appearing to be mine). [I was trying to find a post of mine to help supply someone with transit hotel information in DEL, but instead I realized something I should have realized earlier. ]
