IMHO just quoting some words where appropriate is the only polite way to
answer to a forum message

Exactly.

The main difference between a private email conversation between two
people and a thread on a forum or a mailing list is in the 1:1
conversation both parties know the context of their entire discussion
already and rarely would need any quotes at all if the sequence of
messages is linear and near realtime and also in an 1:1 conversation

Thank you Bernd very much for the great explanation! I now understand why forum protocol is different than what works between private parties.
