Not a bad reminder for us all.  I try to remember to do this, but don't
always remember.  Even for top posting, with is arguably:

1. Not the way it used to be done, and not the way purists want it to be
done, and

2. The way, right, wrong or indifferent, that most mail clients handle
things, and

3. The absolute BEST way to reply to a message if the reader will be on a
Treo (how many teeny little screens do YOU want to scroll through before
getting to the message.

It's a good idea to trim the original text to the bare minimum.  My habit,
learned from a long-time friend on another email group, is to trim out the
parts that are not relevant (especially all that advertising at the bottom)
and replace it with "...snip..." to be clear that something was taken out.

"'To each his own,' said the farmer as he kissed the pig."

Cheers,

Salutations,

Can y'all please, please, please, trim your responses to posts?
I get the digest and sometimes have to wade through lots of text to 
move to the next mail. (Even non-digest readers will have longer 
downloads and fuller mail boxes without trimming).
