It's only a waste of time when the previous poster leaves *ALL*
of the quoted text in place. Quote only what you need, dump the
rest. The post you're reading right now is at least as readable as
any you will ever read.
Doesn't AOL offer free classes in this stuff by now?
I read this AM that AOL will start charging mailing list owners for
content sent to their list members- if you aren't whitelisted, it
will not be delivered. Other big mail services (yahoo etc) should
follow.
"mailing list" is a little vague but it mentions specifically
enabling/disabling HTML links,etc, which content makes up 80% of 90%
of the body in posts on the LEMlists (long footers).

"AOL announced on January 30 that it will phase out its Enhanced
Whitelist service in June in favour of Goodmail CertifiedEmail, which
carries an as yet unspecified per-message fee. Until now, a mailing
list gets on the AOL whitelist by following good e-mail practices,
such as cleaning up dead addresses, making it easy for people to
leave mailing lists, and of course not sending any spam. This is all
going to be thrown out the window and replaced with the payment of
hard currency to Goodmail. People who can afford to pay this fee will
have the privilege of reaching AOL subscribers, others will end up in
junk folders. Yahoo is expected to follow down the same path."
