I am guilty... problem is my ISP stopped using my newsreader so I have
gone to google (as some would say, I'm a "bottom feeder"). Reply box
in google does not include the referenced post.... if I have the time I
just copy & paste it.... it's a hassle, so I don't usually do it.
Sorry.

Instead of hitting the "reply" link, hit the "show options" link for
the post you're replying to. Then hit the "reply" link. It quotes...
So you can top post a reply....

you should be able to use whatever newsreader you want. your isp does
not have any control over this.

When I got Comcast (who contracts thru giganews) they didn't have
rec.windsurfing, (the Horror!!!) I asked about it, and in less than a week
there it was.

anyway if the newsfeed is the problem, a cheap alternative is teranews.com
i think you pay a one time $5 fee and you get access to their "free" server,
forever. total download is limited, but if you're only reading text groups,
you'll be fine.
i paid my $5 years ago, and use it as a backup when my isp newsfeed goes
down.
their news server seems great, better than most completely free servers - i
think that on some of those you can't post. anyway, it's a good deal for $5.
web-based usenet pretty much sucks.
