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
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!

Suzy,
Even though you may find it repugnant to read what you perceive as
"foul language" or "nasty posting", I find it even more repugnant
that you would have others censor others' posts in order to comply
with what your delicate sensibilities dictate is 'proper' behavior.
This is, after all, USENET, arguably the last bastion of truly free
speech on the planet, so if you want to play here and not be
perpetually offended by some of the other players, I suggest you
grow thicker skin. :-)

Fair point, though I disagree. There are only two regular posters on the
entire Usenet whom I would describe as thoroughly nasty, to a pathological
level. (Maybe they're the same person, even :) ). I do know many many Usenet
users have killfiled them/him to avoid it, and that those are somewhat
miffed by seeing it quoted and so getting "through the barrier" as it were.
So I'm not alone. My skin is pretty thick too...
