I was so shocked when I read this, I just had to reply:

Why is it that I can read an article, then less than 30 seconds
later I read a response to the article which contains the ENTIRE
ORIGINAL ARTICLE!!!! Today I read an article. Then I read a response
which contained the original. Then, I read a response to the
response which had a large portion of text of both the original AND
the first response. COME ON PEOPLE, this is a waste of time and
computer resources.

I thought that the idea for net.flame WAS to waste time and
computer resources.  Besides, sometimes it's hard to dredge up
old articles that are being referred to.
