So why did you find it necessary to quote his entire post?

Because it is the proper way to respond to a message on Usenet, you freaking
idiot! Either get up to speed yourself or go **** yourself, you confounded
moron!

The first quoted post without a reply was a slip up. The second was so
that readers would know specifically what I was referring to ... word
for word.

Jim, you are finally posting correctly. Don't let these confounded ostriches
like Andrew Price mislead you. He does not know his ass from a hole in the
ground.

You are wrong. Quote the part to which you are responding, delete the
rest. It you're going to aspire to being King of the Internet, get it
right.

If you are responding to the message in toto, then you should include the
entire message. If you are just responding to part of the message, then you
need only include that part that you are responding to.

The fact is that there is not one person in a hundred who knows how to edit
a message. It is always better to include too much than too little. If you
haven't a clue, then you should include the entire message to which you are
responding if only in part.

Good to see you follow your own advice.

That is because I am generally responding to the entire message, not just
part of it. I am Usenet's foremost genius on how to edit a post. It comes
from my training as a professional librarian.

Pity your training required the surgical removal of the portion of your
brain used to sense irony.

Maybe you should try editing BEFORE you post. It would save the rest of from
a lot of useless babble. Your "training" means nothing on usenet because, to
paraphrase your own words, usenet means nothing. You can't deride the
legitmacy of usenet then brag about your "qualifications" to post on it. But
you contradict yourself constantly, little man.

Oh. I see.

Less charitable souls may have suspected you of doing it in order to
foist the crap in its entirely onto those who would not normally have
seen it, due to their kill-files.

That would be most unfortunate, as it would probably end up with you
being kill-filed, too.

There is no need for anyone to put anyone else in a kill-file. How many
brains does it take to decide whether to read a post from someone or not. I
do not read 90% of the posts to these newsgroups because I know in advance
that all I will see are the usual idiocies.
