Personally I quote just the part I'm referring to and matters. Anyone
following the thread should be able to remember or switch to thread
view. It's also implied here.

I'll try to explain more succintly. If you ban someone they soon
realise and could use a different email. If that ban only affects the
person who imposes the ban and not the banned then they have no idea
and so it will be more free and effective if each user controls their
own kill file. The killfile could be client or mailing list server
based.

So, do you think the >> is in the right or wrong place (should it be
at the top)? I prefer it this way.
