Usually the main problem is people who quote far too much. Overquoting is a separate issue.

English is read top to bottom. >I think a lot of it went back to the days when most USENET users were >academic ones and some rather resented 'ordinary' users. :-) >I wondered if they were used to the days when everything was printed out >(they were not paying for the paper of course!).
