He appears to have a problem understanding the differences between a mailing list and a forum. On a forum this way of replying is no problem, although many folks do quote the previous reply so as there is some context to what they are replying to. I don't know the correct words for this, but it appears that some replies to forums are also appearing on mailing lists (this one for example) , but makes it extremely difficult to follow the discussion. I suppose we just have to go with it. If we are perplexed about a one-liner reply with no context it's just one click to delete it, and the guy/gal that's looking for help loses out.
