Well said.
Another thing:
Good software lets you select a few lines before you start replying, so
you come into the msg edistor with a few lines of quotes and the cursor
below those two lines.
The good way to respond to a msg is to:
1 select the sentence you are replying to.
2 click the Reply button.
3 inside the editor you find yourself at the cursor, below the few
lines you selected before pushing the reply button.
That's how good email and usenet software should work.
Many programs are working like this, but people do not even know about
it.
