That's the point of quoting, yes, to provide context for what you're
saying. Joshua is saying that you didn't quote enough to provide
context. You surely did not.

In case you didn't know this about English (this is not a Usenet thing),
the point of quoting as we use it here is typically to call attention to
another person's position so you can agree or disagree with it, and
follow up on what they said. Brevity is good, but you're supposed to
keep enough quoted material to actually express the intent.

Here's another way of looking at it: assume that readers only have the
one post to examine. The sense of what you quote should independently
accurately reflect what the original author is saying. "How about
Swing?" fails miserably on that count.
