I concur, this bugs me too.  Unfortunately, there are way too many posters  
on USENET who over-quote.  I stand firm on sticking to three line (at the  
*absolute* maximum) quotes of approximately 72 characters per line.  I also  
agree that quoting is not even necessary all the time for the additional  
reason that most modern news readers do have the ability to either track  
threads or go back to previously read articles.

To me this is far from bitching, it's a problem with some USENET posters and  
one that costs other USENET readers money.  For me, a lot more of my money  
is spent transmitting someones article multiple times than is spent  
transmitting original material.
