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.
