Why should I? My comment attachs to the original issue where you can see
what
it was in the beginning. All this quoting just makes the space uptake grow
exponentially.
Firstly, many of the regulars here do NOT use the horrible web interface
that you are using, they use a news reader and so don't see the same "view"
that you do. You would be highly recommended to do the same, as it has many
benefits over the web interface.
Secondly you don't necessarily need to quote ALL the post you are replying
to, just the relevant part.
And thirdly, this news group is replicated over many many servers globally
and sometimes posts don't get passed on. Therefore it is only courtesy to
quote so that people reading this group from non-Microsoft servers do not
miss pertinent parts of the thread.
HTH
