Hi James,

You seem to have mislaid your snipper. It is very useful for when you're
replying to a very large post, and all you want to do is add a single line
at the end. It reduces frustration in readers who find themselves
scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling through quoted text
they've already read, wondering why you've quoted all this stuff if you
aren't actually commenting on it, and prevents readers from unfairly
dismissing you as just another "metoobie".
