No, I'm saying CR is a waste of resources and punishes legitimate
senders while not making yourself a burden to spammers. It does
nothing to combat the problem, Just Hit Delete is *not* an acceptable
way to handle spammers. If you're not reporting spam, you're part of
the problem. Take some responsibility and raise the cost of them
doing business by reporting spam.
I wasn't complaining about CR not quoting. There's no reason for it
to quote more than a subject line (if you exclude the fact CR systems
haven't justified their existence and you're hurting your own cause
with your overall cluelessness). I was complaining about *you* not
quoting correctly. Had you been reading for comprehension and
understanding, you would have noticed this.

Wait, wait, bullet-hole in my foot? Sorry, but I have been reading
this thread. I'm not sure you have a foot left to shoot anymore from
how many times you've shot it up.
