FWIW, many of us do not use EMailers that make use of the Reference
field. So if there are two or more posts with the same subject
line there is no easy way to find the message referred to.
If not a single line is quoted and the message begins "I think
what he is referring to is...", the message becomes even less
clear.
It is interesting that you seem to think that attributions are
done for ego or idea ownership purposes. This thought had
never occurred to me until now. I always thought this was for
clarity, readability and courtesy.
What's even more irritating, is this post that I'm now responding
to. Formatted at 100+ characters and requotes an entire previous
post for no apparent purpose.
