You can always get the message-id of the message I was replying to

from

the reference header of the message I just posted. That should give you
the context. I see no need to continue a topic that has nothing to do
with the main subject of this newsgroup.

Then why'd you bother posting?

Sorry, saying "look up the message-id" is obnoxious. I am jumping into
this thread in the middle; providing a few extra words explaining (at
least) who you're responding to is no big deal, except if you're lazy.
