Agreed.  One of the benefits of adhering to standard top-to-bottom reading
order is that it encourages the poster to trim the original so we can get to
the new stuff. :)

Many email clients encourage a lazier approach of quoting all below the new
stuff, which I do when providing tech support to maintain the entire
discussion but on a list like this that's not needed.  The extra few seconds
to trim are appreciated.
