The quoted posts were not as you have posted them. They did not include the
"[Don Lancaster)."
Shame on you, Bud.
The standard English syntax for inserting edited text into a
quote, usually to show meaning that deleted context made clear,
is to enclose it between said square brackets.
Nothing was deleted!
Which is to say that, while not commonly used on Usenet, Bud's
quote is proper style. If you read newspapers or news magazines
you will see it used often.
The style may be proper by your standards - certainly not mine - but
the [content] is dead wrong. Nowhere did I refer to Don. We were
talking about The Phantom.
