    Please don't make up arbitrary nonexistent rules. Usenet has no real
    name requirement, and there's nothing wrong with the attribution line
    you're complaining about.

    I did not; I made a request.

    Usenet has no real name requirement,

    But I have; it is called courtesy, a concept that apparently you are not
    very familiar with:

    and there's nothing wrong with the attribution line
    you're complaining about.

    *You* have *shortened* the original attribution line without marking the omission.

    Also, your claim is wrong; see for example

    <https://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html>

    Finally, you should have directed your message to me via e-mail because it
    is completely off topic. (Now that this cannot be helped anymore, my counter-argument is posted here as well, of course.)

    See e.g. <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855>

    Good point. I'll reply by email.
