Sometimes, I cut the quoted text into sections with replies in between to make it clear just what I'm responding to.  It's not exactly rocket surgery, and I fail to understand why some of the people on the list find it so difficult, or think that they must include the entire message in their reply, including the boiler plate at the bottom.  (Not that you did, but if you'll look at what we get in this list, very many posters do exactly that.)

Because my friend not many of us in this day & age have time to spend cutting & pasting bits of an email chain!
Despite all the ancient protestations on this list - top-posting is becoming the norm!
I presume you use facebook & linked-in - they are good examples of why these mailing lists are sailing against a head-wind.
