Matt Mascarenhas@maxleibman [Yes] I do reckon if we're thinking of quoting someone's public post, we must be prepared to link to their original. This is so our readers can check if we quoted fairly.
But I'd actually like to get away from copy-paste altogether, in favour of "passing through" to the original. So, for a given revision of a message, we link to a particular subsection thereof. The subsection we want shows up in the flow of our own message, and the original shows up in full alongside.
