well...if the theory is that one must be able to keep up with the
conversation for response or comprehension, seems to me the entire
conversation must be available to readers who aren't participating
directly in the discussion. i don't need to include any of the prior
posts for my reply purposes. i know what the other guy said, he knows
what he said, and i can snip everything...

but your point is known, and i made my point knowing your point, and, i
agree, it's all pointless in the grand scheme.
