Even I can see the truth in this, even as a not too frequent forum poster.

Neither did I :P

I think the British way makes more sense, though, I will do it that way, now that I know it is acceptable. The comma is not part of the quoted text.

Me too!

I can always say I picked it up at work. Kind of like all the people with Texas accents I hear saying "cheers" all the time.

It's blasphemy, I tell you. Blasphemy!

By the way, how have the Nazis not yet been invoked to this point? What kind of forum-mocking forum is this? :)

Well, I don't think the Nazi reference belongs here. I suggest the moderators split the Nazi thread off

Well Nazi's have posted in threads about forum members who talk about changing light bulbs, therefor we clearly do not need to split this off.

Well, we really don't have a place to put threads about Nazis posting in threads about forum members talking about changing light bulbs.

Should we create one?

I do believe that needs to be done as a poll and not just a general question...

It could be some kind of veiled reference to the fact that, on a German keyboard, the "y" and "z" keys are reversed, relative to a US keyboard. Thus placing the "z" key next to the "t" :P
