Basically yes, all the above makes sense. Remember that many people 
don't see any threading at all (I do because I pipe the messages into
our Newsserver), so standard usenet quoting would often destroy the
context. The same goes for the signature, sometimes it's nice to
see who was quoted, what company that person is with etc...

Then don't read the digests. When searching older messages, WWW is
another option (try searching on altavista for +"color.net"
+"ascend-users").

I don't quite get the logic here... :)
