A timely reminder to have a browse of the list etiquette? There's a section on
trimming. :-)

The point of "bottom posting" is to provide enough information to get context
before reading the response - without having to go back to previous messages
in the thread or reading a bunch of unrelated fluff. Quoting everything -
especially sigs - is counter to helping the reader see what the writer is
referring to.
