manually deleting that header (and a few others) because he didn't know

Like when I do this?

When you do what? You haven't removed the References header.

I manually clean up the quoted text section, blue stuff and all.

I have no idea what "blue stuff" means because I don't use the same
newsreader as you. And I was talking about headers, not quoted text. I
strongly encourage cleaning up quoted text, but leaving enough for
context.
