Even that is better than the people that snip everything and then reply. I
see that frequently on a usenet group that I am on. If you snip _everything_
and reply, no one knows who the reply was for or what the reply was about.
After all the confusion those posters create by doing that, they still can't
understand why the rest of the group then takes aim with their phasers set on
charbroil for a week. At least with the entire post quoted one can tell what
the topic is, even if it contains a lot of reduntant text.
