By some : others prefer to read what the respondent has to say,
rather than having to wade through recycled material before
learning anything new.
Actually if list policy is adhered to, no material "wading" is ever required
- appropriately ruthless pruning avoids it. Quoting
http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html :

Trim your replies. If you have more quotation than original text, think about
cutting down on the quoted stuff. The list members can look at the message to
which you responded, or check the archive. Prune that quoted text with
ruthless abandon. Everyone else will thank you for it, especially the list
admin(s). Don't forget, thankful list admins are less hasty with the
unsubscribe button.
The list admin(s) will scowl heavily in the direction of any Jeopardy-style
quotations-- that is, putting your answer before the quoted question to which
you're responding-- but won't actually unsubscribe you for doing it.

Feel free to play elsewhere if list policy bothers you so much you feel
unable to adhere to it.
