Please quote some context when replying. Assuming your reply was meant
for me, here's my response.
I read usenet a lot. I actively participate in groups, and I frequently
search the archives for information. Correct posting makes everything go
much more smoothly. It avoids confusion and misunderstandin gs, and keeps
the discussion organized and easy to follow. It also prevents wasted
time and space caused by overquoted replies. Isn't that worth a little
tiny bit of extra effort, especially considering 1) the size of the
audience (potentially thousands) and 2) the lifetime of the articles
(maybe forever)?
It's not as if these are arbitrary rules. They have a purpose, and were
determined to be the best practices based on experience.

[OT] Quoting (Was: Help with sizeof and pointers)

Actually, even with Outlook Express it's easy to post "properly". All you
have to do is start at the top where OE puts you to begin with, and scroll
down through the quoted text. As you go, delete the stuff that isn't
directly relevant to your response. When you come to a point that you
want to respond to, stop scrolling and put your comments after that point.
Then, if you're not at the end of the message yet, keep scrolling and
deleting, and inserting more comments if appropriate. Eventually you'll
reach the bottom, and your comments will be interspersed nicely among the
remaining quoted material, point/counterpoint style.
With this procedure, it's actually *better* to have the cursor at the top
to begin with. If the cursor starts out at the bottom, you have to scroll
all the way up to the top before you can start working your way down.
