You are supposed to review the quoted text and clip out any parts that is
not needed to remind others what you are replying to, before you post. It
is customary to add in (snip) or 8< (scissors symbol) if you clip the last
poster.

Then, you either insert your words directly below lines that you are
reacting to, or post your entire message at the bottom. This is the
standard for Usenet and just good manners. Remember, this is not an email
reply to one person who knows what they have already said, but an archived
post that is part of a conversation presented to the entire world, for
anyone to join in. Normal capitalization, spelling and punctuation are
also appreciated. It is hard enough to interpret many posts, without also
having to decode slang and abbreviations. This is not a cell phone text
message.

You are certainly free to do whatever you like, but if you can't be
bothered to think about the effort it takes others to understand what you
write, don't be surprised if many kill file you and never see anything
else you ever post.

Bye bye.

Well explained John. But there is another point. If you are replying
protesting at foul language or nasty posting (a regular perpetrator of which
appears here occasionally) be careful not to requote his foulness as others
may have kill filed to avoid his nastiness!
