...[snipped]... means that something has been cut out (i.e. omitted).

... Three dots inside a quote means that one or more words have been omitted.

.... Four dots inside a quote means that one or more sentences have been
omitted.

When quoting in an article or reply it is usually desirable to omit extraneous
material and only quote the relevant parts.  This is especially true if the
original material is lengthy.
