Almost.  I left your entire message intact up to this point so you can
see what you sent, though you may need to click the [...] to expand it
[1].  (Normally, I would edit out everything but the actual message
I'm replying to ("Like that?") and some context from Ben's message.)

Gmail (which I also use) requires a little bit of extra effort to
abide by proper mailing list etiquette; in particular, you should
always expand the [...]-hidden text and edit out what you don't need
to send such as signatures and footers from the message you're
replying to.  Then add your replies immediately after the text you're
actually responding to, like I've done with this paragraph and my
previous one.  It's also best to choose "plain text mode" from the
little menu at lower-right (choose that before you actually edit the
message at all, though, or set it as the default.  Changing it
mid-message causes havoc with the formatting).

It's at least a step up from a certain other Google interface to this
list, and I think I speak for everyone in saying "thank you for being
willing to learn proper etiquette" :)
