Point the first: if I did not, would I have admonished you for not
quoting?

Point the second: it would be a further courtesy if you did not make
unwarranted assumptions about what tools other people use.

When you write a post with no context whatsoever and impose a burden on
me of having to figure out what you're responding to before I determine
whether you're talking out of your ass or not, you move the default
assumption to "he's talking out of his ass" and you move the bozometer
one notch closer to "plonk."  You may not care about that, but I
consider it a courtesy to warn you that you are barreling at high speed
down that path.
