2. learn to trim your quotes.

PS: (standard quote information file)
please learn to quote properly. your reply goes UNDERNEATH the quoted
material, not above it. this allows the quoted message to be read in
sequential order rather than reverse chronological order.
top-posting screws up the chronological order of the replies making it a
jarring chore to make sense of them - you have to scroll backwards and
forwards trying to match who said what to whom and when.
the longer a thread goes on, the worse it gets.
you should also delete excess quoted material including headers and
signature lines - quote just enough to provide context for your reply,
and no more.
