Have you been taking lessons from Dihedral?

If not, let's leave out the personal remarks. I don't think they're
helping, and they're certainly not making you any easier to comprehed.
(I'm still not sure what your last sentence is saying.)

As to context, though: It's conventional on mailing lists and
newsgroups to retain some of the previous post's text to provide a
hook as to what you're replying to. You'll find plenty of information
about that on the internet; the general recommendation is to eyeball
what you're sending and trim the text to just what it takes to provide
context for your post. The quoted text goes first, and your text
underneath (possibly interspersed, if appropriate).
