Yeah, i struggled with my original words. How about borrowing
from rfc 1855:
"Be brief without being overly terse. When replying to a message,
include enough original material to be understood but no more. It
is extremely bad form to simply reply to a message by including
all the previous message: edit out all the irrelevant material."
