Your reasons are your own as far as archiving. I disagree, but that's
no matter. However, if you are going to use Google to post you need to
start replying to messages in usenet standard fashion. That means
quoting a relevant portion of the message you are replying to.

To do that with the Google interface, click "show options" and select
the Reply in the expanded message headers. That will have proper quotes
and attributions for your reply.
