Proper posting etiquette (even though I broke them in my previous post)
would dictate that only the previous comment be quoted -- so an entire
thread isn't quoted each time, and it gives relevance to what is being said.
I personally find it much easier when postings are done like this.

It's more like re-reading the previous paragraph, so you can re-gain your
grip and understanding in the novel.
