want to reply to.

Do you find this reply so distracting?

Brief, pertinent quotes allow the recipient to see what you are
replying to. Lengthy quotes are a pain!

If you delete _ALL_ the quotes from a reply, we have no idea what
part of which part of which message you are replying to.

PLEASE, Brian, just leave in the bit your reply relates to.

Delete all the rest by all means.
