It's more than irritating to the entire group, when you provide no
clue what you're talking about.

> I try to say enough of what I am replying to. If people would read posts in order, like in this thread,

DUH!! There is no fixed order. People read posts in the order their
server delivers them from others (which varies enormously ) and/or in
the order they set for themselves (oldest first, or newest first). If
they use a killfile that also affects which posts they see.

So no posters are likely to see or read any thread in the same order
you do. That's the nature of usenet, it is NOT like email or a
webforum.

> my response to the first post made by Paul should have made obvious what I was replying to.

Not at all, because there's no way for anybody else to know which Dsl
post you saw first or replied to.
