Part of the point is that Google Groups is quite unhelpful in these
areas. There are alternatives - you can get a newsreader, or you can
join the mailing list. (I do the latter, and Gmail works fairly well.)

Sometimes, the community is best served by telling people about flawed
tools. It's more courteous than saying "You didn't quote any text, and
that's making it really hard for us to follow" and blaming you
personally for it :) But the fact is that it *does* make things harder
for other people, and the onus is on you to follow the conventions of
courtesy. That's why people are asking you to change software -
because good software makes it easy to be courteous.
