True for most newsreaders, some of them have settings to strip certain
'levels', some of them let you select (multiple or singel portions of)
text which will be the only quotes on a reply, etc. One should always try
to trim done quotes to the essentials. Quoting everything is almost as bad
is no quote at all

O sure, I've done that once or twice in my entire usenet usage. Let's trim
signatures automatically for the other 99,999% where they are NOT needed
in the quote.

do you now see that one is bigger than the other? for bonus, try to guess
which is trimmed. lol
> Quoting everything is almost as bad is no quote at all
your definition implies that most of Stuckle's posts are "bad".
> Topposter almost always do... Have you read your own replies?
what is a "topposter" exactly? it's "top-poster" or "top poster".
