Scott, since you're posting from Google groups you may be unfamiliar
with the more mainstream/traditional means of reading newsgroups. Many
of us find that posting without quoting the original is a severe
inconvenience to many readers who would otherwise be better able to help.
Many (most?) people using a newsgroup client other than Google groups
just scan the new posts and don't want to have to skip back and forth
re-reading older messages to try and make sense of newer ones. It is
also sometimes the case that newer messages are propagated before older
ones - so the older message you refer to may not be available to
everyone reading your posting.
Google has some good guidelines at
http://groups-beta.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12348&topic=250
especially ...
"Summarize what you're following up.
When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an existing
article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the
cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start
typing your message, please STOP and do two things first. Look at the
quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant. Then, go to the BOTTOM
of the article and start typing there. Doing this makes it much easier
for your readers to get through your post. They'll have a reminder of
the relevant text before your comment, but won't have to re-read the
entire article. And if your reply appears on a site before the original
article does, they'll get the gist of what you're talking about."
Hope that helps
