Summary: 



I find that some people make excessive use of the facility to
include the article they are replying to.  Reading everything
two or three times (in case of cascaded inclusions) is hardly
efficient.  Of course, there are ways to skip the inclusions, but
the point it that if you are making a comment on a specific point
you should be able to be more precise and quote the relevant part.
Otherwise your impact gets diluted and the reader gets angry.
