If you're going to quote the content of another post in your reply, the
general web etiquette is to snip the majority of the message,
particularly any layered quotes, and only include that which is relevant
to your reply. Failure to do so obfuscate's your text and annoys readers
who now have to scroll through several pages of redundant quotes which
are generally unneccessary in the context of your current reply.

All this is especially true if you fail to include any new message, in
which case it's better if you not post anything at all.

He doesn't know what he's talking about, so don't bother. I think he and
his fellow kooksters suffer from some sort of compulsive disorder like OCD.
Call this one OFD -- Obsessive Flaming Disorder.

Excellent point. Although I'm sure it's nothing a little Ritalin and
time away from the computer couldn't cure.

In any case, this reminds me of an old adage; "Never argue with an
idiot. You'll just bring you down to their level and then beat you with
experience." We should just stand aside and let these imbeciles wear
themselves out.
