1) It's "common" because most people do not use mailing lists and never
used the usenet. They first used email post-2000 and never learned
proper netiquette. That doesn't mean it's right. It just means these
people are ignorant and keep behaving the way they want to after joining
a mailing list - instead of following the established netiquette for
such lists.

2) I hate to have to lecture you, but you need to learn proper quoting -
reading your mails is painful. If your MTA doesn't do proper quoting,
use a different one.

3) IMO, repeated failure to obey these rules should result in a ban from
the list - this is not kindergarten, people should at least try to behave.
