Because they actually are replying to a post, as evidenced by the References
header. Also, since the poster was using the Egghead Cafe forums to post
through (as they have an NNTP <> Forum transfer engine, he doesn't realize
that what he sees is different than what everyone else in the world sees.
Also, Egghead Cafe, afaik, doesn't quote the thread by default (if it all)
and as such, most people won't actually include the text from the rest of
the thread.
Add in the fact that since they are using eggheadcafe forums, they are more
likely to be forum users rather than newsgroup users, which is a completely
different structure/format/methodology. On the forum, you wouldn't just
see this persons post, you'd see the entire thread.
If you don't like the way they play with newsgroups, go on over there and
let them know. I never got a response when I tried tho....

Should have added:

appears to be the post he was replying to.

Well, I'm pretty sure there's a url up in the original post in the
signature. Click it.

Because they didn't tweak the settings? I don't know. I don't work there.
> How can we get rid of it, or at least convince users to abandon it?
Beats the living heck out of me. How can I convince the red states in this
country to vote democrat? Probably the same answer. Who knows. If you
figure it out, go ahead and try.

Since you didn't quote the message to which you think you're responding, no
one knows what you mean.
