If you can get your whole reply down to 24 lines, or maximally
45, I don't care where your part of the post is. This does imply
an 'always trim' philosophy.
It's much preferred (and obvious) to have every line of the
referred-to be carated(>) and also good (and less obvious) to
have the new lines set off from the old by a whitespace line,
rather than run together.
(it's starting to sound like programming conventions)
