No, you`re doing it because you`re ignorant. I`m trying to help you get
past that.

That`s already been explained. In a word - "context".

Wrong. Again because of ignorance. Have you ever heard of an echomail
"Offline Reader"? Apparently not, or you`d not have made that statement
above. Many folks, including me, use that method of reading/replying to
messages.

You`re on a roll, wrong again. That is an entirely different issue,
which I sort of agree with you on. Correct quoting methods are indeed
important, including removing irrelevant parts. Fully agree with that.
But that doesn`t mean you don`t quote at all.
Fe> A thank you doesn`t need a dissertation or a full-context replay like
Fe> it`s a courtroom transcript.
Yes, it does need context. The way you did it there was ZERO indication
as to who/what you were thanking, or why. Maybe not the entire previous
conversation, but enough to be able to understand your reply.

Posting etiquette hasn`t changed since 1994. Now you know.
Fe> It was two keywords: thank you. It didnкАЩt need a 15-message committee

It did, and I`ve just explained why. Try to do better, please.
... Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is forever.
