That seems to be at least two (contradictory) viewpoints. It
is not possible to leave something intact and also remove parts
of it.

Certainly not (if you only wanted Robert's response, I presume you
would have used email). That to which you are responding should
_precede_ your response, not follow it. If that seems like people
have to wade through too much to get to your comment, then you
are overquoting.
