> RFC 1855:
> - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
>   summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
>   enough text of the original to give a context.  This will make
>   sure readers understand when they start to read your response.
>   Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the
>   postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a
>   response to a message before seeing the original.  Giving context
>   helps everyone.  But do not include the entire original!

Someone should do a public service announcement on all the major
