OK, I wanted to make sure that you were not trying to make a technical
point, just to attack.

Your behavior is out of line, please keep it off the list and out of my
mailbox too.

Yes, it is customary not quote too much when replying to a message.  In
this case the issue is not that complicated to not remember the whole
context, and don't worry RMS understands perfectly what it is.  And I
hope he gets what I am trying to say too.  We were just having a
technical discussion, as we've have many in the past.
Not sure what exactly you are trying to obtain here, but doing it this
way is not the best.
