Usenet is threaded so you don't HAVE to memorize the contents of the
entire thread, replys directly reference the post that is being
responded to.
Right, so because two of us are trying to explain to you how your
posting
method interferes with people understanding _your posts_, somehow
this is
our problem. Got it. The fact that you've been on usenet for more
than
a decade isn't relevant; there were clueless newbies ten years ago
too.
Oh yes you're really trying to be ever so helpful; lets face it you
didn't like the solution I offered the original poster and jumped up on
your high horse.
Most people would have noticed, in a decade, that replying with no
context
interferes with communication.
Again, do you realise that in Usenet replies reference the post to
which they are referencing? That makes it a threaded discussion, and
the thread IS the context. I made a one line response to the original
message whose title had all the context necessary to understand what I
was referring to but because you didn't like the reply you decided to
troll.
And now you are quoting context just fine, so why are you bitching about it?
I bet you don't know that Google includes a unique identifier in your posts
that makes it easy to killfile you, do you.
