With e-mail, the recipient know what he sent and doesn't
need it quoted back, except maybe sometimes as a memory jogger.
With Usenet, the reader may have never seen the previous post.

Gabriel Cadwallider posted:
blah, blah, yadda, yadda, for thirty lines and then
somewhere it says Has anyone ever done CPR? and follows
that by twenty more quoted lines, not to mention the
signature blocks of six prior posters......

How long would it take to figure out do _what_ all the time?

What percentage of people would bother to try?
