The message *is* sort of cryptic.  It means that someone was responding
to another article, and the text that they quoted from that article was
longer than their response to it.  For example:

        In article <xxxxx> Joe Blow says:
        > blah blah blah blah
        > blah blah blah blah
        > blah blah blah blah
             .
             .
        > blah blah blah blah
        > blah blah blah blah

        I completely agree with what Joe says.

The polite thing to do is to summarize the quotation: you rarely need
to repeat the whole thing.  (Besides, your audience has probably just
read the article you're citing).  Since people are often lazy, your news
program is enforcing the polite behavior.
