Your point is taken. Most of the time, if it's in an in line response
I would write the email line by line, with the referenced text shown
above my response.

However, when it seems like a conversation, I just trim the above, and
respond. That's how I view an e-mail, like an ongoing conversation.

>From now on, I'll leave the mailing I'm responding to above, and
delete the point's I'm not talking about, which is about what I
usually do.

So being attacked about no context(which was an attack out of context,
based on a few messages one night), when the whole conversation is in
the topic reader/gmail/etc seemed a little ignorant to reading
through. All he had to do was look back up to the email s just above
my response, and see, or read just through mine, not read everyone.

But anyway, I'll be more informative as to exactly what I was
referencing, instead of treating it like an ongoing conversation where
everyone was present, and paying attention to the whole of the topic.
