I don't. That's why I post at the top.
I quote a reasonable approximation to the full content of the message at the
bottom. On rare occasions some of the previous post (2nd back) is included
in the bottom quoting because things make more sense with it in there. What
is at the bottom is normally edited to delete extraneous items and
reformatted to still fit on the line with the "> " addition. If there is a
certain part of that to which I am replying that if placed above what I am
saying makes things more clear then I place a copy of it above much as I
have done now.
News groups are threaded trees of messages. Those viewing read through
messages as presented in those trees. When they get to my message they know
what went before and need little if any of that placed above my reply. What
they do need is to see the message without needing to press PgDn.
