JR: IMO, refreshing the reader's memory about the
subject of one's reply is useful for those who
need it. I think of it as a convenience.
What I really find confusing (& I wish there was a
convention to cover this) is that in multiple
conversations, one can easily lose track of who
said what to whom. For the convenience of my
readers, I have a cursor positioner that adds my
initials so there's less confusion.
