As I said in comp.lang.perl.misc...
The quoted material is either relevant or it isn't.
If it's relevant, then your comments should be quoted near what
it's related to, so I can read them together, in the proper order
to understand the context of your response.
If it isn't, DON'T QUOTE IT.
So there's never a reason to top-quote. Except to demonstrate what a
lazy bast*rd the poster is.
