Personally, I have never been offended by anyone not typing in their
name below the article. After all, the contents of the article is
what is important, and the relevant information about the author is
(normally) in the headers anyway.

In my opinion, quoting text when following up is mostly useful for
making it clear what part of the parent article you are commenting.
This makes the article much easier to read and understand.
If you are writing the reply on the top (or on the very bottom), while
quoting all the parent article, the information about which part of
the parent article you are commenting is completely lost, and you
might as well refrain from quoting anything at all. After all, the
contents of the parent article is easily accessed by a keystroke on
sensible client software.
