Because it's redundant. If you can't understand my point by what I write and realize that the point I'm making agrees, disagrees or has nothing to do with the other persons point then I'm clearly not making my point very well.
What I wrote seemed pretty clear to me, how you would mistake that for me agreeing with another point is beyond me.

It's not redundant Matt. It common courtesy. If you and someone else were standing in front of me discussing something, and I stepped in to make a statement vaguely related to the conversation you were having, the natural assumption would be that I did, in fact, intend to participate in that discussion in a way that pertained to the points you were discussing. If I jump in and decide to simply express an opinion generally unrelated to the points either person is making, I think you'd consider it rude or at least odd.
Whatever. You do this all the time. I don't expect you'll change. You have a lot you feel you need to say in the LR, and you've always indicated that you think others should conform to your specific preferred style of online conversation despite basically everyone using a different format. I suspect we will have this same conversation again in the future when you decide to jump into a conversation, quote part of that conversation, and then claim to be discussing something different.
Until then,...
