Such ignorance!
https://www.lsu.edu/internet/usenet/usenet-etiquette.html
"Quote as little as possible from others` messages. This is the only
major deviation between mail etiquette and news etiquette. Your news
message may be sent to thousands of other sites. Most of these sites
keep anywhere from several days to several weeks` worth of old news
articles. This means that the article you are replying to is probably
available, if someone needs to look at it. In particular, "me too"
messages, where you quote several dozen lines from someone else`s news
article, and then add a one-line comment at the end are frowned upon.
Make sure that all the quoted text is absolutely necessary."
That`s been recommended for decades.
