In my experience, having been on the Internet now since 1984 in one form 
or other and having participated in threaded newsgroup discussions in 
many forums off and on over the years, the one common thread I see among 
all the acceptable newsgroup posting styles is that you quote, then snip 
what you are not responding to, then respond to what is left over right 
underneath the quoted text.

Like it or not, this is the only newsgroup posting style that I've seen 
over the years that does not generate criticism.
