Who can't work out how to properly quote using Google Groups? Well,
**** me, but I've just managed it, which I guess - yet again - makes me
much smarter that you.

If you had worked out how to use google groups properly, you would
understand why they decided NOT to include the original in the reply by
default.

But as has already been pointed out to you more than once, you can
reconfigure it to do so.

Alternatively, as I tried to point out in my other posting, you can use
other methods of showing context.

If you're as smart as you think you are, you know that Google doesn't
set the accepted standard of manners for Usenet. You'd also know that
Google's arbitrary change is a recent meausre, and that previously it
did adhere to accepted standards.

If you were as smart as you think, you would know that you don't set

"Everybody's out of step except my Johnnie", is that it? Usenet
convention has been worked out over the past ten years, so why does a
newbie like you know better?

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about. It is a newsgroup
convention to quote at least some of the preceding conversation: perhaps you
should consider doing this, if you want to be understood.

If you're going to be rude to my friends, I can't be arsed to go and
find some pictures of the Paris caverns which I *had* thought might
interest you.
