And it's bad list etiquette on ANY list to include the whole post
(unless you're replying to it, section by section).
I really don't understand why people can't figure this out for
themselves. When I first came online it was pretty obvious that
replies that quoted the entire original message (which often quoted
another message, which quoted etc etc) were irritating to read, so I
didn't do it myself.
