Would everyone else please stop quoting posts that are on the same page

there, unless you can't keep track of what the post was about?


No!

The "same page as your response" that you see is not what most of the
rest of us see. You are using one of those reprehensible web-based
forums to access a Windows public newsgroup hosted by Microsoft and
suck up posts here. You are in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance, whether you
realize it or not.

Most of us here use a newsreader to access this newsgroup, and most of
us don't keep already-messages. The result is that a message without a
quote is incomprehensible to most of us. Moreover quoting in newsgroup
posts is standard netiquette.

If you want to be a good newsgroup citizen, learn to *always* quote
the message you are responding to, and start participating properly,
directly in the newsgroup.

Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook
Express, which comes with Windows. See

You'll find that it's a far better experience.
