i just had an issue with another groups.io group where we were having a number
of replies to a Message. i responded to another member?s reply directed at me.
Now another member has complained that when I reply I should have quoted the
message that I replied to.
my response is that the message was part of a thread and expanding the message
shows all the messages. Several other members agreed.?
It is always better to include enough of the message you are replying to to
show the context and clarify the meaning of your message. You may read messages
on the web site, where the whole thread/topic is available, but many, including
me, use an email client and rarely if ever visit the web site. That means the
only context we have is what is shown on your message. I sometimes find replies
sent with nothing quoted are completely meaningless to me for that reason.
