>Sorry, I don't understand your question.

And I don't understand your answer. There's no quoted context. Do you
expect me, or anyone else, to look through all their recent messages to
try to deduce whom and what you're responding to? Or do you think we
all have those magic superthreading email clients?

Seriously folks, don't think of it as netiquette, think of it as
communicating unambiguously. Trim **unnecessary** context but keep the
relevant context. Interleave post with your response directly below the
sentence or paragraph you're responding to. It's not rocket science. If
for some reason you can't do this, why not switch to a forum, or IRC,
or a Slack or Discord venue?

Mailing lists are a wonderful resource. Everyone should endeavor to
keep them informative and unambiguous.
