I've quoted. In this case, the relevant context is the whole text of the
post I'm replying to. A question is whether the following would be
sufficient for you to understand the quoted post, especially if it were
not your own:

In this case, just this does not identify what is it that you find
superfluous and possibly messy.

Now, as I think others are already mentioning, there's a difference
between quoting everything and narrowing it down to what is
relevant. Perhaps (in the first block of quoted text above) I could have
removed Joerg's reply, but it looked to me that it helped put your
latest reply in context. I personally usually put "[...]" when I narrow
down by removing lines in the middle, but that's up to you: I've seen
"<snip/>" used too, and there will surely be other examples. (I mean
doing something like:

(If you find it superfluous, you could try looking at news clients or
extensions for news clients that offer the ability to collapse quoted
text by default. It's possible such a feature will have issues in corner
cases, or with less usual quoting indicators, but should work well
enough most of the time? (But I don't use a feature like that myself,
hopefully someone else will be able to give you more or better advice on
this topic.))
