Being nearly that time of the year for stuffing, I desperately
need to ask this question.
Why oh why do so many posters to this newsgroup include
the whole of a previous message --- and often all the previous
messages in the same thread --- before adding their own bit
to the discussion?
I mean something like this:
Hubert Cholmondely-Smythe wrote >>> Fred Higgins wrote
>> Jim Smith wrote > Joe Bloggs wrote (aaa) (bbb) (ccc) ddd.
Fred Higgins wrote >> Jim Smith wrote > Joe Bloggs
wrote (aaa) (bbb) ccc
Jim Smith wrote > Joe Bloggs wrote (aaa) bbbJoe Bloggs wrote aaa ...., etc.
This results in several metres of closely packed text, to which a
typical uk.r answer might read: "Agreed", "Really?" or "Bollocks!"
(Thinks... someone might respond to this with "Get Stuffed!")
:-(>>> Stuck in Aulde Pharte mode again!

When there are multiple conversations running in the thread, it's
useful to know who you're replying to, and whose question you're
adding onto. On the other hand, I tend not to reply.
I suppose Google Groups tends to be pretty good at hiding quoted text
so it's not that much of an issue for the majority of the group...
