When the vagaries of propagation have been resolved, quoting will become
less of an issue. Until then, it's appropriate for people to follow the
common Usenet custom of snipping and quoting replied-to messages.

For the newbies and naysayers, I again refer you to:

Newbies have an excuse (and a polite note to them, with appropriate
references such as the above, is often enough to square things away); others
don't. I don't see why this is such a difficult concept for some people.
