Snipping:
As a word to the wise, <snipping> is appropriate when you do not disagree on
a point, or where you state that it is not worth arguing. It is also
worthwhile when replying with a short (or even a long) comment to the gist
of a previous post, but where you are discussing the totality not the
independent points. It is worth remembering that not everyone has a fast
connection, most people have insufficient reading speed, and few want to
read a long post for the second time to see where the replies are located.
So use your judgment to keep the volume tolerable. Just don't <snip>
something that you take issue with or somebody will attack you for removing
their arguments and assert that you did this invalidly because you couldn't
argue your case effectively rather than just putting back the excised
material.
