To be fair to the forum, I was the one that truncated the quote to only
show the relevant part to my post.
The long and complex quotes become impossible for me to follow.

However, I do have a gripe with the forum which is the annoying preview
code that hovers when mousing over links. I am considering using the
Ruby Forum to follow things instead as that preview thing is a major
irritation when using the Nginx Forum and the admin has ignored all
requests to provide an option to switch it off.

Thanks for that. The (?P) form works.
