to Jim,
I'm afraid you make a BIG asumption that users of usenet always know what they are doing. There is ample evidence that many users do not have any clue what newsgroups are and how they work. (e.g. AOL users that think this is a chat room with on-line responses)

So to our Dear New users of newsgroups,
Please quote enough context when making replies. THANK YOU.   Ed
