Quotes must be attributed correctly, else "who said what?" quickly
becomes impossible to follow - even with threading.

Search engines frequently land in the middle of a thread and it is not
true that one can always "very easily look backward" to see what has
been responded to ... Google isn't that easy to use, and it is not the
only site that mirrors and/or indexes Usenet groups.
