  It is certainly necessary.  Refusing to answer is illegal and rude.

  When you refused to answer, how are the opponents to know whether it
was a converted takeout double, a penalty double, or a co-operative

  It makes the flow of articles much neater and easier to read if you
put your replies below the bit to which you are answering.
