From the netiquette document...

Hey y'all, I know this is gonna sound really nitpicky, but please allow
me to draw your attention to the first item in the Higher-Fire
netiquette document:

  1. Have you captured more of the original post than is necessary?

  If the first original word of your response isn't  on  the  first
  page  of  your  post,  you've got a problem.  Don't quote someone
  else's entire post to reply to  it.   Simply  copy  the  relevant
  parts.  Many mailers have a function that will automatically copy
  the entire post putting in the ">"s for you.  Use  this  function
  with  caution, and if you do use it, delete the irrelevant lines.
  It's annoying to have to page down about 4 times before  you  can
  read  any  fresh  material.  It also takes up precious disk space
  because it makes your post larger.

I've noticed several posts with 2 lines of comment, followed/preceded
by 20 lines of quoted text from a previous message.  Please, inlude
just enough for the sake of context!

Thanks :-)
