Two things, Aydin. First, Steve uses a newsreader that does not show
him all the posts in a thread. So when he reads your post he doesn't
necessarily see the post you are responding to. It is like reading an
answer without knowing what the question was, and it can be quite
frustrating. This is why most people include the relevant part(s) of
the post they are responding to in their own post.

Google allows you to do that by clicking on the "Show options" link.
When you do that, the post you are replying to shows up and you can
then include the necessary portion in your reply. If you do that,
people can understand your post by itself, without having to try to
find what you are responding to.

As for Sheldon, don't bother with him. Sometimes he posts useful
stuff, sometimes he jumps on others because he thinks it shows his
superiority. Sometimes he uses much fouler language than he has with
you so far. Who knows why? It doesn't matter.
