I have to agree with this.  It's quite annoying when people post a
reply, but don't include any of the original text that they are replying
to.  Determining the context of what they are saying is impossible
without doing a bunch of backtracking and searching.

Also when someone quotes some interesting tidbit of text and then makes
their reply, it would be real nice if they would at least indicate who
posted the text to which they are replying.  I can't count the times
that I've seen a reply containing some smidgen of quoted text, but no
indication of who posted that text.
