Hi HN,

I'm collecting data on that line in email messages that indicates the replied-to message is below. Example: "On Apr 2, 2012, at 2:15 PM, John Smith wrote:".

I'm asking for 5 minutes of your time to collect as diverse a sample of those as you can from your inbox, anonymize them, and paste them here (or link to a gist or something).

Extra points for non-American-English ones (like "2 апреля 2012 г. 20:04 пользователь John Smith <jsmith@example.com> написал:").

I really appreciate it. If I get a large enough sample, I'll release a script to help deal with these in emails.

Thanks a lot!

It's taken me all four years of college to realize that my productivity and interest usually tail off after about an hour of distraction-free work. Lacking time to do a weekend project, I threw something together in under an hour.

Your turn to make something marginally useful in http://quicktick.me/1h

(Also: http://quicktick.me/3h1m4s, http://quicktick.me/5:14, http://quicktick.me/111:22:33, count up by not specifying a duration.)

If you're willing to share, how much time does your company spend per client per month on customer service or technical support? How much does that cost you, compared to how much that user is paying?
