All groups have their own customs. On this one, full repetition of

I consider snipping to be more offensive than repeating the original post
unless it was of an oversize or offensive nature.

In this group, it's usually quite easy to snip the irrelevant bits from a
post because it's so often a specific question or answer that matters and
that can be isolated. On other groups that might not be the case.
Personally, I prefer this group's custom of snipping because trawling
through yards of old material to read one sentence at the end is irritating
and silly. In the end, I find I avoid posts from the people who do that.
So, obviously my opinion is different to yours but that's the way of
newsgroups, too.
