Google is your friend. <g> 
 
This comes up early in a search for "usenet etiquette": 
<http://www.html-faq.com/etiquette/> 
 
One thing to remember is to snip signatures when you reply. Sigs are 
delimited by two dashes, a space, and a carriage return. 
 
If you want to continue to use OE, get OE-QuoteFix. Or better yet, get a 
modern real newsreader that already does that (and more) without 
add-ons.  I like 40tude Dialog when using Windows.

It could possibly mean that you didn't quote what you were replying to, 
and everything you posted was 'original text' in your posts.  <g>
