I've been holding back on quoting the "netiquette RFC"... I also
tend to blame M$ (Outlook and variants) for this tendency to quote
everything and top-post -- Outlook makes it almost impossible to do a
trim&interleave response style.
Including everything as a trailing quote may be okay in an office
environment, where it serves more as a photocopy included with an paper
mail response. But anyone "raised" on 2400bps dial-up on a service that
charged by the minute (GEnie, Compuserve, et al) rapidly learned to use
as a log-in/pull/log-off/read-reply/log-in/send system, and to remove as
much $$ quoted text as possible.
