It is very simple. Do not change text that you are quoting.

Snipping out the text that is not relevant to the reply if normally considered
good as it reduces bandwidth. Saying so with a note inside angle brackets
is AFAIK the way that this has been done politely for ever.
Although some languages use for quotes (Quebec French for example) that's
not usually how it's done in newsgroups.

Not sure what the cricket was for but ...

I am not discussing the "cricket" in angle brackets.
Putting the indicator (snip) in your own text space as you did
is the best way. I am talking about the problems that arise
when someone puts the indicator inside the quoted text.

So you (Michael Press) disagree with Mr. Jute who claims I am lying by
alleging he wrote "crickets" when he did not. Thanks for the clarification.

What the devil? You're not very good at weaseling, are you, Sherman?
Just like you aren't any good at anything. Clearly you haven't got it
yet. We're hanging you for both the lamb and the sheep you tried
overambitiously to steal. You're guilty as sin and the smart thing
would have been to retract and apologize when your crimes were first
exposed, not carry on weaseling incompetently with transparent lies
and smoke from other incompetents like Weiner.

I am not disagreeing with Mr. Jute because I am not
sure what he is saying.
