I was posting it because I figured you guys would find it interesting.  It
is a post that is really topical to this list.  I posted the whole thing
because that is the content that I was trying to make availible to the
members of this list.

My one line was enough information to where you would understand why and
where the thing came from.  If I just posted a FW: on the list, it would be
severely bad etiquette.  If I posted my commentary--essentaially repeating
what he said--I'd be equally insulting.  So I passed enough info so you'd
understand my motive for posting, and when the post came from--nothing more,
nothing less.
