OTOH, some posters have scolded some other posters for NOT snipping! Go figure!

The post a person is responding to (and sometimes a whole string of posts in an
exchange) always appears when you click on the three dots in the bottom left of
the Reply box--unless the person who wrote the post has deleted everything,
which is what BillyG does. Apparently he doesn't like to feel that he's part of
a discussion, so he gets rid of it all before posting.

It all depends on what software you're using. I've been monitoring FFL messages
in IE and Firefox and I've noticed that some posts don't include what the
person is responding to. However, when you hit reply sometimes the messages
appear when you scroll down.
And, I've also noticed that hardly anyone follows the netiquette
protocols for formatting messages anymore. It sure would be
helpful if people would do some formatting using the old style
right angle bracket, but now I realize that's really asking to
much of people, since mainly they are just shooting from the hip
with one-liner snickers. There seem to be only about two serious
respondents left here anyway.
So, I'm using Thunderbird to send and reply to text only posts,
but when I want to include an image I use Chrome, which has a nice
feature to key in the location of the image URL. I haven't figured
out what happened to the 'source view' in Neo to include an image
URL. I've also noticed that several people have not figured out
how to make an active URL link in any program. Go figure.
P.S. At this point, I'm not even posting with the expectation that
anyone but lurkers would read this stuff, so it's mostly for them
to be amused with.
