What about adding the "TOFU" acronym for these purposes? Otherwise
you're missing to critizise the fullquote.
For the acronym TOFU see
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=TOFU&Find=Find
For basic netiquette in mailing lists, see
http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html , chapter 3.1.1, especially this
paragraph:
"If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure
readers understand when they start to read your response. [...]
Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!"
