   Well, I'm not the who gives one-line answers without trimming any of the   
   irrelevant text in long messages.  Make of that what you will, I guess.   
      
   It's just an observation, at any rate.  You don't have to take it to heart   
   if you don't see it as applying to you, but it's still generally good   
   advice:  If you have only one line to add in a given reply, it is best to   
   trim the body of the post proportionally.  It just makes for easier reading   
   when the reply and the quoted text balance out some.
