I can be understood just fine without quoting anything, if I so choose.


You can do anything you want, this is an unmoderated ng. Whether
you're understood or not is a different question.

An RFC about netiquette is not a "protocol".  Its discussion of quoting
is a matter of ensuring a conversation is maintained rather than a
collection of non sequiturs, and is far more about trimming quoted
material to a reasonable length than demanding that something be
quoted.


No one is demanding anything. "This memo does not specify an
Internet standard of any kind".

The above contaxt would much clearer had you quoted from the
post you were replying to.

Get it?

What's far worse netiquette is net.cops waltzing around creating
flamewars simply because they see top-posting and non-quoting.


Relax, you're not under attack. I'm simply making an
observation.
