0th lesson: Reply, don't Forward.
1st lesson: Don't lard, whole thoughts only, top or bottom posted.
2nd lesson: Trim the parts of the post you're responding to down to the part 
you're responding to.
3rd lesson: Sporadically summarize the gist of the thread including 
edited/selected (for and against) [ir]relevant sub-threads.
4th lesson: Don't use a web client. Download all of the posts, and download the 
whole of every post, including the headers.

And, no. *I* will never use HTML compostion unless it's by accident because I'm 
on a stupid ... I mean "smart" ... device wherein I can't figure out how to 
make it plain text. What does HTML get you anyway? ... except for extra 
formatting that takes even more tech to handle well? Now, if you really do NOT 
want to use email, then don't use email. Move to a different forum technology. 
There's a-plenty out there.
